SHORT-TERM TENANCY TENDER FOR TWO TUEN MUN SITES

******

THE GOVERNMENT IS INVITING TENDERS FOR A SHORT-TERM TENANCY OF TWO SITES IN TUEN MUN FOR VEHICLE REPAIR WORKSHOP USE.

THE SITES, MEASURING 550 AND 570 SQUARE METRES, ARE ADJACENT LOTS AT THE JUNCTION OF KIN TAI STREET AND PUI WING LANE IN THE NEW TOWN'S FAST-GROWING INDUSTRIAL AREA.

THE CONDITIONS OF TENANCY, WHICH IS FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS, RESTRICT THE HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURES ON THE SITES TO NOT MORE THAN 4.5 METRES.

THE SENIOR ESTATE SURVEYOR OF THE TUEN MUN DISTRICT OFFICE, MR. VICTOR LEUNG SAID TODAY (SATURDAY) THAT TUEN MUN HAD ALREADY ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A MAJOR INDUSTRIAL CENTRE IN THE NEW TERRITORIES AND ITS RAPID GROWTH HAD GENERATED A GREATER NEED FOR BACK-UP SERVICES.

+WHILE VEHICLE REPAIR SERVICE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE INDUSTRY'S EXPANDING VEHICULAR FLEET, MR. LEUNG SAID, THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN FEW REPAIR WORKSHOPS LOCALLY TO MEET THE DEMAND.+

+TO ENSURE A SELF-SUFFICIENT FACILITY, WORKSHOP OPERATORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO START THEIR BUSINESS IN TUEN MUN.

+ IT WILL BE A GOOD INVESTMENT, AND OF IMMENSE BENEFIT TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW TOWN,+ HE ADDED.

MR. LEUNG SAID TENDERS FOR THE SHORT-TERM TENANCY OF THE TWO SITES WOULD CLOSE ON OCTOBER 5 AND APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE TENDER BOX IN THE RECEPTION LOBBY OF THE NEW TERRITORIES ADMINISTRATION, FIFTH FLOOR, HOUSING AUTHORITY HEADQUARTERS BUILDING, PRINCESS MARGARET ROAD, KOWLOON BEFORE NOON ON THAT DAY.

TENDER FORMS, TENDER NOTICES AND AGREEMENTS MAY BE OBTAINED FROM, AND TENDER PLANS INSPECTED AT, THE NEW TERRITORIES ADMINISTRATION OR ANY OF ITS SEVEN DISTRICT OFFICES.
