6.22 Work continued on moving the Railway Terminus to Hung Hom. During the year the bulk of the site-formation work and the main drainage culvert were completed. Work began on station platforms, fencing, minor drainage and the foundations for the passenger station building, the bus station and the multi-storey car park. Some 3,200 ft. of track was laid to maintain access to the locomotive running shed.
6.23 A preliminary study of track widening from the new Terminus to University Station was also made.

6.24 Extensions to the aircraft parking aprons and taxiways were continued. Two major contracts were completed providing a new outer taxiway giving access from the main taxiway to the passenger apron and the long-term parking and maintenance aprons. Works completed were an aircraft bridge across the Kai Tak Nullah, together with 38,000 square yards of short-term parking apron with associated fuelling and utility services.
6.25 A contract to complete Stage I of the Apron and Taxiway Extension Project to convert the old outer taxiway into six aircraft parking bays was started. A contract for an access road and bridge across the Kai Tak Nullah in the Cargo Area was also begun.
6.26 Work started on the contract for the Link Taxiway connecting a high-speed turnoff on the runway with the parking areas. This also includes drainage works extending the Kai Tak Nullah and the Kowloon City culvert.
6.27 Planning was in hand for decking 300 feet of the Kai Tak Nullah and for a further extension of the parking apron—Stage II—to provide six parking bays and connected taxiways.
