NEW PIER TO BE BUILT AT PAK SHA WAN
To Cope With Large Number Of Picnickers
A pier with proper landing facilities is to be built at Pak Sha Wan,
Hebe Haven, to cope with the increasing number of holiday-makers and larger
Government vessels on duty in the Sai Kung waters.
Construction work is expected to start in March and will take about
a year to complete.
Pak Sha Wan is one of the chief centres for the large number of
yachts and pleasure craft in the New Territories.
Village ferry services transport thousands of picknickers and
visitors from the existing small jetties at Pak Sha Wan to the beaches,
picnic spots and other recreational amenities in the Port Shelter area,
In recent years, the small jetties have become inadequate to meet
the heavy demands, especially in the summer.
To enable people using public light buses and other means of land
transport to reach the new pier direct, a concourse with a few parking spaces
will also be built.
