More than 75 acres of land will be reclaimed at Sha Tin to
provide space for the development of utility projects to serve the new
town.
The site to be reclaimed is an area of foreshore and sea bed
on the western coast of Tide Cove, about half a mile northeast of Ho
Tung Lan next to the proposed reclamation for the new race course.
The main public works project to be developed there is a permanent
sewage treatment works.
The treatment works will have the capacity to serve the population of the new town, and is designed at the same time to treat sewage from
the future race course.
Other uses of the reclaimed land will be for realigning Tai
Po Road and for constructing a sand depot, a salt water pumping station and public landing steps by the shore.
The area will be landscaped and planted with trees and flowering
shrubs to present an attractive appearance.
Anyone who has objections to the proposed reclamation or has
any claim of private right is asked to write to the Director of Public
Works within two months.
