Land to be resumed for flood control works
The Government will resume 85 private agricultural lots with a total area of 107,676.5 square metres in Yuen Long, New Territories, for the construction of a floodway and a concrete nullah for the Kam Tin Area.
The works are expected to start in November and will take 36 months to complete.
The Kam Tin Basin of Yuen Long has long been susceptible to flooding, and the Government has proposed an extensive programme to alleviate the flooding problem in the river catchment area of Kam Tin. The works form the second phase of the Kam Tin river programme to construct a drainage channel to replace the existing zigzagging river channel.
Landowners affected by the resumption will be offered ex gratia compensation. The Yuen Long District Lands Office will also assess other items of ex gratia compensation payable under the resumption.
Notice.
Details of resumption were notified in the gazette today (Friday).
The land will be reverted to the Government three months after the Gazette
