PUBLIC DUMP TO BE OPENED IN CENTRAL
For Depositing Selected Building Debris
The Director of Public Works, Mr. J.J. Robson, announced today
that the public dump at Central Reclamation Stage V will be opened for
the dumping of selected building debris as from Monday, January 29, 1973.
He stressed that only holders of valid dumping permits for
Hong Kong Island would be permitted to use this dump.
The entrance to the dump is about 150 feet to the west of
Queen's Street.
The public dump forms part of the Central Reclamation Stage V
which will, upon completion, provide more than 15 acres of much needed land.
Construction of a seawall to the west of the Macau Ferry Wharf,
which will facilitate later reclamation works, is already well underway.
The finished reclamation will be used for widening Connaught
Road West and Connaught Road Central as well as for building development
and open spaces,
About 60,000 square feet of land will be reserved for a
temporary cargo-handling area.
Meanwhile, the public dumps at Chai Wan and Sandy Bay
Reclamations will also remain open.
But these dumps might be closed at any time without notice,
the Director added.
Release time:7.00 p.m.
