WORKING GROUP STUDIES EASTERN COASTLINE

****

A WORKING GROUP HAS BEEN SET UP UNDER THE EASTERN DISTRICT BOARD'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING VARIOUS PROJECTS ALONG THE DISTRICT'S COASTLINE.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT OFFICER, DR SIMON VICKERS, SAID THE GROUP, CHAIRED BY MADAM BETTY YÚNG, WAS FORMED IN RESPONSE TO SUGGESTIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS TO DEVELOP WATERFRONT SPOTS AND TOURISM ATTRACTIONS UNDER THE ISLAND EASTERN CORRIDOR.

+THE EASTERN DISTRICT HAS A VAST STRETCH OF NATURAL AND BEAUTIFUL COASTLINE AND IDEALLY, WE SHOULD TRY TO IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP SUITABLE SITES INTO POPULAR PLEASURE GROUNDS WITH THE IR OWN DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS, HE SAID,

DR VICKERS POINTED OUT THAT A UNIQUE PROJECT WOULD NOT ONLY BENEFIT LOCAL RESIDENTS, IT COULD BECOME A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION FOR HONG KONG.

ONE POSSIBILITY, HE SAID, WAS TO DEVELOP THE WATERFRONT LINING THE SAI WAN HO RECLAMATION AREA INTO A PROMENADE.

+THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD IS PRESENTLY CONSIDERING THE USE OF LAND SITES UNDER THE IEC TO TRY AND SOLVE THE NEED FOR MORE RECREATION AMENITIES IN THE DISTRICT,+ SAID DR VICKERS,

+THE WORKING GROUP WILL EXAMINE ALL POSSIBILITIES AND PROPOSALS, INCLUDING THOSE MADE BY PRIVATE DEVELOPERS DURING ITS STUDY OF THE SITUATION, HE SAID.
