Policy Address

101.         Apart from the sites mentioned above, the 2013 Policy Address also mentioned a number of initiatives to increase land supply, including the identification of 42 sites which might be used for residential development in the short and medium term.  These sites were zoned or undergoing rezoning for such use in 2013 and are expected to provide about 39 200 flats in total, including 23 500 public housing units and 15 700 private housing units.  At the end of last year, 38 of the sites (capable of producing about 38 600 units) had been allocated for residential use. 

102.         The Government is determined to identify more sites, and will consider slightly expanding the area of certain sites to generate an additional supply of about 17 000 units, 90% of which will be public housing units.
