DRAFT WAN CHAI OUTLINE ZONING PLAN TO BE AMENDED
The Town Planning Board has proposed an amendment to the
Draft Wan Chai Outline Zoning Plan, it was announced in today's Government
Gazette.
The amendment to the plan, which will not affect any additional
property, concerns the re-zoning of an area comprising properties in Wan
Chai Road and Chi Shing Lane which was shown on the original plan as open
space
An urgent requirement for adequate land for the provision of
marketing facilities later became apparent, and the Board decided to
re-zone the open space site to government institutional and community use.
This re-zoning would not preclude the use of the roof of any market
building or any part of the site for recreational purposes,
The amendment to the plan is now exhibited for public inspection
during normal office hours at the Public Inquiry Centre, Central Government
Offices (West Wing), Hong Kong and at the Wan Chai City District Office,
Tung Wah Mansion, 201 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong,
Copies of the amendment plan may also be purchased from the Crown
Lands & Survey Office, 19th floor, Murray Building, Garden Road, Hong Kong.
Any objections to the amendment may be made in writing to the
Secretary, Town Planning Board, c/o Public Works Department, Murray Building,
not later than Firday, April 18, 1974.
