"The plan covers a total area of about 1,266 hectares including land produced by levelling of hill slopes and by reclamation from the sea around the then Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau Islands," he said.

About 1,017 hectares of land has been designated for the accommodation of airport operational and supporting facilities including two runways, air traffic control towers, air passenger terminal and concourses, air cargo handling, aircraft fuelling and aircraft maintenance facilities.

In support of the airport operation and development, some 45 hectares and 116 hectares of land have been earmarked respectively for business park and commercial development.

The business park is intended to provide accommodation for airport related business including freight forwarding, airline headquarters and related offices. The commercial area will provide land for a wide range of commercial activities including hotel, ground transportation centre and retail facilities.

Access to the airport will be mainly via the North Lantau Expressway and the Airport Railway. An area on the north-eastern coast of the airport island has been reserved for pier development to facilitate sea transport.

The draft Chek Lap Kok OZP (No. S/I-CLK/1) is available for public inspection until February 13, 1997 during normal office hours at:
