RECLAMATION FOR SHA TIN NEW TOWN
More than 40 acres of land at Sha Tin will be reclaimed to provide
more space for development of the new town.
The area to be formed is located north of the existing reclamation.
There will be space for a public housing estate, a temporary
sewage treatment works, and other community uses.
To accommodate households affected by clearance for the development
of the town, a further two acres of land will also be formed at Tung Lo Wan.
About 1.5 million cubic yards of earth will be required for the
overall project and this will be obtained from a borrow area near the Sha
Tin portal of the Lion Rock Tunnel.
To avoid traffic congestion, construction vehicles using public
roads will be restricted at weekends.
The site formation, including ancillary drainage work, is expected
to take 24 months to complete.
