HOUSING ESTATE FOR CHEUNG CHAU
A public housing estate will be built in Kwai Tsai Wan on
Cheung Chau to accommodate 5,000 people.
Dumping material derived from the project will be used for a
massive reclamation scheme.
It is expected that an area of 200,000 square feet will be
reclaimed in Kwai Tsai Wan for the development of light industry, which
will also provide employment for local villagers and estate residents.
At present, industries on Cheung Chau include fishing craft
repairs and garment manufacturing.

The Cheung Chau Ferry Pier will be extended to meet the rapid
economic and social developments on the island, and to cater for the increasing
number of visitors on weekends and holidays.
The pier will be fitted with lifts and ramps which can be raised.
or lowered to suit the tide levels.
Its berths have been designed to accommodate three-deck ferry boats.
Cost for the extension work is estimated at $1 million.
