4.09. Work commenced on a site formation contract involving the reclamation of about 40 acres of land near Tuen Mun San Hui. By the end of March, 1967 a total of 21 acres had been completed, 8 of which were handed over to the New Territories Administration for the temporary resiting of squatters. Tenders were invited for the construction of 3,400 ft. of river training wall and road embankment, together with main culvert outfalls for some of the storm water drains. Detailed design proceeded for other sections of the main drainage system for Stage IA and also for further site formation works.
4.10. Work was completed on the first stage of Pillar Point Road to provide access to sawmill sites being developed privately on the west side of Castle Peak Bay. Preparation of drawings for the extension of this road to Pillar Point was well advanced.

4.11. Where the formation and servicing of undeveloped areas in Kowloon and the New Territories for urban use involve major engineering works, the Development Division is responsible firstly for investigating the engineering feasibility of such development and secondly, in those schemes which are approved, for the formation of the land and the provision of services.
4.12. A report was nearly completed on reclaiming and developing Kowloon Bay north of the Airport runway, where 580 acres can be reclaimed to provide land for the extension of the Airport and for industrial, open storage and other uses. A layout for a small area to be formed at Wing Hong Street for exchange purposes was also under consideration.
4.13. A supplementary report was prepared on developing part of Tsing Yi Island for housing 100,000 people in a single Resettlement estate as an alternative to developing the island to the maximum extent for both industrial and residential purposes as previously investigated. A supplementary report was also prepared on a modified Stage I of the Sha Tin New Town development which would provide land for balanced development capable of supporting a population of up to 124,000.
