MORE BUILDING PROJECTS IN NEW TERRITORIES
A Yaumati ferry water-taxi service pier off Connaught Road Central and two hotels in Silvermine Bay and in Shatin were among the 98 building
plans approved by the Building Authority in November last year.
Building plans for the New Territories showed a marked rise with a total of 41, compared with 31 in October 1973 and 16 in November 1972. They included a 23-storey commercial-cun-apartment building in Tai Po,
and two similar complexes in Yuen Long.
During the month, 62 buildings with a total construction cost of more than $175 million were certified for occupation. These included twin
block staff quarters in the Shatin compound of the Chinese University of
Hong Kong and two school buildings in Sheang Shing Street, Kowloon.
A hospital in Dyer Avenue in Kowloon and a L.P.G. plant facility in Lai Chi Kok were among the 50 building projects that were given permission
in November to commence work.
Approval was also given for the demolition of 74 buildings and
17 dangerous blocks.
