REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR CHAT WAN
Industrial Complex To Be Created
A revised draft outline development plan of Chai Wan has been
prepared by the Town Planning Board for submission to the Governor-in-Council
for approval.
The new plan, covering an area of 945 acres, aims at developing
Chai Wan into a self-contained township with all the necessary residential,
industrial, commercial, recreational and community facilities to serve an
estimated future population of 160,000.
A total of 79.4 acres of land have been reserved for industrial
purposes, with the aim of creating an industrial complex which will not only
provide employment opportunities for the people living in Chai Wan, but also
for the eastern part of Hong Kong Island.
With the exception of the existing industrial area at Hong Man Street
and Lee Chung Street, future industrial development will be concentrated on
the eastern part of the proposed reclamation.
Sites have also been reserved for a sheltered cargo handling basin,
a large cargo working area, and a container freight station on the reclamation.
Altogether 95.3 acres of land have been earmarked for residential
purposes in Chai Wan. This includes the existing resettlement estates and two
further estates to be located on the reclamation and at the cottage estate area
of Epworth Village respectively.
