Approval has been given for the Government to carry out dredging works to the south of Stonecutters Island to provide a military anchorage area of about 695,000 square metres for four mooring buoys.

Works will commence in September for completion in April next year.

Any person who considers that his interest, right or easement in or over the foreshore and seabed involved will be injuriously affected may submit a written claim for compensation to the Director of Lands before June 28, 1997.

He should state in his submission the sum of money he is willing to accept in full and final settlement of his claim and should submit such particulars which he possesses to substantiate his claim.

Submarine cable circuit for new airport

To enable the provision of permanent electricity supply to the new airport, the China Light and Power Company has proposed to install a submarine cable circuit between Tuen Mun and Chek Lap Kok.

The circuit, comprising three submarine cables and one submarine telecommunication cable, will be installed within an area of about 118 hectares of foreshore and seabed from Tuen Mun Area 40 to the new airport site.

Works to be completed in six months will be carried out in two phases.

Phase I involves conventional dredging at both sides of the landing points while Phase II will be on the laying of the submarine cables. No underwater blasting and chemical will be used.
