He said the new town centre would be a focal point for the rapidly expanding residential area in Luen Wo Hui, which is very close to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
"Some military sites in the Fanling district are being planned for residential development in the future," he revealed.
"These include Dills Comer Camp, Lo Wu Camp and Burma Lines. The latter is just one kilometre north of Luen Wo Hui and this 28.4-hectare military site will have the capacity for about 4,700 flats.
"Looking at the site from a larger geographical context, the Fanling site is strategically located about 12 kilometres from Yiantian, a fast expanding container terminal just across the Sha Tau Kok border. Therefore its commercial/office potential is very promising," he added.
Close to the Fanling Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Station, the site will be well served by minibus and other public transport services.
The maximum plot ratio for offices, commercial uses and shop is 9.5 and around 1,000 car parking spaces will be provided.
The basic development parameters include a day nursery, a social centre for the elderly, a public bus terminus, a public car park, an internal pedestrian walkway and a landscaped area of about 2,200 square metres.
