A comprehensive planning study was now being conducted by consultants,
he went on, to determine the best ways of utilising the rich recreational
opportunities on Lantau Island and Saikung peninsula, in addition to
the country parks and reserves already planned on Hong Kong Island, Tolo
Harbour, Shing Mun, Lion Rock and Pak Sha Wan.
The consultants' recommendations were expected in about a year's
time and should provide a framework for the development of major holiday centres
for both residents and visitors.
The Governor said he attached great importance to this programme
but he warned that although recreational facilities in the old urban
areas would be greatly expanded, "the sheer lack of space makes it likely
that they will always fall short of what we would wish for so large a
concentration of population."
