A total of 32 hectares (79 acres) along the waterfront is
reserved for industrial purposes, with the aim of creating an industrial complex which will not only provide employment opportunities for Chai Wan residents, but also for the eastern part of Hong Kong Island.
With the exception of the existing industrial area at Hong Han Street and Lee Chung Street, future industrial development will be concentrated
on the eastern part of the reclamation now under way by the Port Works
Division of the P.W.D.'s Engineering Development Department.
reclamation is being carried out in stages and should be fully completed
by July 1980.
The
Sites are also res .rved for a sheltered cargo handling basin,
embracing a three-hectare (seven-acre) cargo working area, and a container
freight station on the reclamation.
Land earmarked for government, institutional and community uses
amounts to about 40 hectares (99 acres) or about 18 per cent of the
planning area. Among the proposed facilities is a civic centre at the
existing typhoon shelter which will include a library, exhibition and
community hall, government offices and estate welfare accommodation.
Other proposed community facilities include a hospital on the
hill above Hing Wah Village, schools, a fire station, two markets, bus
termini, and a multi-storey carpark.
In addition, a large site is reserved for a swimming pol and
park complex already included in the Public Works Programe. The
swimming pool, which will be similar to that at Morse Park, will serve
residents at Chai Wan, Shau Kei Wan and Quarry Bay.
