No building land is involved in this resumption. However 43 temporary structures (21 on private land and 22 on Crown land) situated within the resumption/clearance limits and used for domestic purposes will have to be cleared. These temporary structures are occupied by some 32 families who if found eligible will be offered public housing. Families not eligible for public housing will be offered space in a temporary housing area in Fanling. Ex-gratia domestic removal allowance of up to $1,000 per family may be payable to displaced families. Genuine cultivator-families who opt to continue cultivation elsewhere may be eligible for an ex-gratia rehabilitation allowance of $5,000 per family but will forfeit their priority for public housing.

One month's notice of resumption is recommended so that engineering works may start on schedule in July 1978.
