Fanling/Sheung Shui
Despite the fact that Fanling/Sheung Shui is only four kilometres from China, it is well linked to the urban areas and other parts of the territory by the electrified Kowloon- Canton Railway and the New Territories Circular Road.
Fanling/Sheung Shui, which is being rapidly developed, has a present population of almost 126 000 and is expected to reach 250 000 by the end of the 1990s. A total of 14.5 hectares of land was formed and serviced for various uses in 1990.
On Lok Tsuen, the major industrial area and other industrial sites on the western fringe are being developed to keep pace with the growth in population.
A landscaped town park with active and passive recreational facilities was completed and a sports complex, swimming complex and indoor recreation centre were all started in 1990.
At Sha Tau Kok, a small township with a population of 3 700 on the border with China, work is in progress to upgrade and improve services, community facilities and the environment. About 2 200 residents from the Yim Liu Ha squatter community were rehoused in the rural public housing estate in 1990.
Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and the North-Western New Territories
Development of Yuen Long from its former market town status into a thriving new town community began early in the 1970s. Its population, which stood at 130 000 in 1990, is expected to grow to 140 000 at full development by the end of the 1990s.
Work started on the environmental improvement of the Yuen Long nullahs in July 1990 and is due to be completed in 1992.
Yuen Long Town Park, which was completed at the end of 1990, features extensive areas of woodland, an ornamental lake with a water cascade, a pagoda and aviary.
Yuen Long Industrial Estate provides 67 hectares of serviced industrial land of which about half has been leased.
Reclamation for Tin Shui Wai was completed in July 1990. Construction of the Light Rail Transit reserve for the Tin Shui Wai extension and two public housing estates was started in 1989; on completion in 1992 and 1993 the latter will accommodate some 70 000 people. After completion of private housing by the end of 1997 the new town population is expected to reach 135 000.
To provide access to Tin Shui Wai a new road linking Yuen Long to the south east of the new town is under construction while another between the Yuen Long-Tuen Mun Eastern Corridor and the western end of Tin Shui Wai is being designed.
Flood protection works for a number of villages in the low-lying areas surrounding Tin Shui Wai are completed and in operation. A comprehensive village flood protection study for nearly 200 villages in the North-Western New Territories has been completed and a programme for implementation is being prepared.
To cope with development in Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and the Tuen Mun-Yuen Long Corridor, construction of the North West New Territories Sewage Treatment and Disposal Scheme began in 1989. The treated effluent will be conveyed through a 9-kilometre tunnel underneath Castle Peak and a 2.6-kilometre submarine outfall for dispersion into the deep sea at Urmston Road.
In the Tuen Mun-Yuen Long Corridor, construction of the infrastructure for a commercial/residential development at Hung Shui Kiu is in progress.
