DRAFT WAN CHAI OUTLINE ZONING PLAN TO BE AMENDED

The Town Planning Board has proposed an amendment to the

Draft Wan Chai Outline Zoning Plan, it was announced in today's Government

Gazette.

The amendment to the plan, which will not affect any additional

property, concerns the re-zoning of an area comprising properties in Wan

Chai Road and Chi Shing Lane which was shown on the original plan as open

space

An urgent requirement for adequate land for the provision of

marketing facilities later became apparent, and the Board decided to

re-zone the open space site to government institutional and community use.

This re-zoning would not preclude the use of the roof of any market

building or any part of the site for recreational purposes,

The amendment to the plan is now exhibited for public inspection

during normal office hours at the Public Inquiry Centre, Central Government

Offices (West Wing), Hong Kong and at the Wan Chai City District Office,

Tung Wah Mansion, 201 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong,

Copies of the amendment plan may also be purchased from the Crown

Lands & Survey Office, 19th floor, Murray Building, Garden Road, Hong Kong.

Any objections to the amendment may be made in writing to the

Secretary, Town Planning Board, c/o Public Works Department, Murray Building,

not later than Firday, April 18, 1974.
