PROPOSED SITE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRY ON TSING YT
Tenders Expected To Be Called Next Year
The Government is to make available to developers five acres of
land on Tsing Yi Island suitable for heavy industry.
The proposed site, which is located on the south-east side of the
island, will have an extensive sea frontage to deep water. It will also have
good road access to the mainland when the Tsing Yi bridge is completed towards
the end of 1973 or early 1974.
A government spokesman said today it was expected that the use of
the site would be restricted to the automotive industry, including the mamu-
facture of internal combustion engines.
The conditions governing the use of the site will also contain a
building covenant requiring the construction of factory buildings.
Tenders will be called sometime during the early part of 1973. It
is expected that the sale of the site will also be advertised internationally
in view of the expected heavy demand for land on the island with the advent of
the Tsing Yi bridge.
Action is currently in hand regarding the processing of the Conditions
of Tender and one of the conditions will be that the successful tenderer forms
about one-third of the area of the site utilising Crown land for this purpose.
The area of Crown land to be used as a "borrow area" will be stipulated
within the Sale Conditions.
