In a review of other affected properties in the area, the spokesman
said that in the case of Blocks A and B, Po Shan Mansions 10-16 Po Shan Road,
the arrangements will take a little longer. But if the reports of the
authorised architects are satisfactory these buildings could be reoccupied
in less than one month.
The House at 21 Po Shan Road, and Skyline Mansion at 51 Conduit
Road must remain closed until major structural repairs are completed and the
hillside between these two properties has been made safe.
Proposals have been submitted to the Buildings Ordinance Office for
the repair of Block I Emerald Gardens and this building will also remain
closed until the work has been completed satisfactorily.
However, the extent of the damage to the four apartment blocks at
125 Robinson Road as a result of the landslide has not yet been fully
ascertained.
The authorised architect is investigating the stability of the
structure and retaining walls and proposals for repair work are expected to
be submitted to the Buildings Ordinance Office shortly.
Building work on phase II of Skyline Mansion at 49A Conduit Road
can also recommence as soon as slope stabilising works within the site and
arrangements for access have been completed.
The P.W.D. spokesman said that a government contractor was about
to start on the permanent remedial works in the Po Shan Road/Conduit Road
area and these are scheduled to be substantially completed before the start
of the next wet season.
