Policy Address

Medium and Long-term Land Supply

108.         The Government will make vigorous efforts to take forward new development and extension projects in the New Territories and Lantau, with a view to supplying housing units and promoting the local economy.  We are planning the future development of Lantau and New Territories North, and considering projects such as reclamation on an appropriate scale outside Victoria Harbour, development of artificial islands in the central waters, as well as the use of rock cavern and underground space. 

New Development Areas and Extension of New Towns

109.         The Government is proceeding in full steam to take forward projects relating to the development of new development areas (NDAs) and the extension of new towns.  It is estimated that Kwu Tung North and Fanling North NDAs, Tung Chung New Town Extension, Hung Shui Kiu NDA and Yuen Long South Development can provide over 197 000 units for occupation starting seven years from now.
