New public piers in Sai Kung
The Government will construct two public piers at Po Toi O and Yim Tin Tsai in Sai Kung to improve berthing and landing facilities for local villagers and other members of the public.
The piers, each with an area of 400 square metres, will facilitate the 400 local villagers and other members of the public who use fishing boats, kaitos and small motorized sampans for transportation.
Both projects are proposed by Sai Kung District Office and form part of the Rural Planning and Improvement Strategy programme.
The works will be carried out within 1,200 square metres and 1,730 square metres of foreshore and sea-bed near Po Toi O and Yim Tin Tsai respectively.
Both projects will begin in mid-1997 and will take about 18 months to complete.
The extent of the areas affected are published in the Government Gazette today (Friday).
