PUBLIC RECLAMATION IN ABERDEEN

Aberdeen Reclamation Stage I, covering the water front from the west end of Aberdeen West Typhoon Shelter to the Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market, was completed in 1977. About half of the 6.62 hectares reclaimed land is now occupied by a Sewage Screening Plant, Ice Plant, Fisheries and Marine Licensing Office and the Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market. The remaining area will be used for open space, Government and industrial development and a future highway interchange. At present a portion of the latter area is being used

Aberdeen Reclamation Stage II covers the waterfront on the
north and west shores of the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. Implementation has been phased over a period of 11 years from
October 1976 to early 1987.
DEVELOPMENT OF NORTHERN AP LEI CHAU

of land for use as
as open space; coastal highway; public landing area; marketing facilities; industrial site; and other facilities.
