RESUMPTION OF PROPERTIES FOR URBAN RENEWAL PILOT SCHEME
The ninth batch of resumption notices on land required for the
implementation of the Urban Renewal Pilot Scheme on Hong Kong Island were
served today. The notices affected seven tenanted pre-war buildings at
Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 Fat Hing Street.
A detailed plan of the lots affected by the resumption notices is on
display at the Western District Office at 205A Des Voeux Road West, the Crown
Lande & Survey Office, 17th floor, Murray Building, and at the Western District
Kai Fong Association premises at Possession Point.
A Compensation Board will be appointed under Section 6 of the Crown
Lands Resumption Ordinance to determine the amount of compensation to be paid
for all interests in the land resumed.
As was the case when properties were previously gazetted for resumption
for Urban Renewal, the domestic occupants of the buildings will be offered
some form of public housing according to suitability and availability when they
are required to move,
