The Project Manager, Sha Tin, has requested the acquisition of about 8.8 hectares of private land in the above development areas. The land is required for two public housing estates, a temporary housing area, and associated road works and services. Development will be divided into 2 phases, namely:
(a)
(b)
the first phase of the development requires the land to be cleared by July 1978, and provides land for
a public housing estate in Area 10 with a population capacity of almost 20, 000, sites for temporary housing in Areas 27 and 29B to house about 4, 000 people, and the associated road works and services;
the second phase, which required the land to be cleared by mid 1979, will provide a site for a public housing estate in Area 29A with a population capacity of about 20,000, together with the
associated road works and services.
These projects are part of the Sha Tin New Town Stage II - Phase I Development and are included in Category A of the Public Works Programme,
