Hung Shui Kiu New Development Area

77.         Following the North East New Territories NDAs, the Hung Shui Kiu NDA is our next major development project. With a study area of 790 hectares, this project can provide over 400 hectares of developable land according to preliminary assessment. We will step up the efforts to formulate a preliminary outline development plan for embarking on the next stage of public engagement.

Developing the New Territories North

78.         Apart from the North East New Territories and Hung Shui Kiu NDAs, there are also vast tracts of land released from the Closed Areas and other undeveloped areas in the New Territories North. While some of them have high ecological significance and are unsuitable for development, there are others that have certain development potential. I have already asked the PlanD to study the feasibility of taking forward further development of the New Territories North, with a view to developing a modern new town there on a similar scale of the Fanling or Sheung Shui New Towns.
