G. Other Proposals Raised by the Public G1. List a Proposals G. Other Proposals Raised by the Public G1. List A Proposals G2. List B Proposals General Whilst some alternatives were raised on the proposals in the Concept Plan, a number of other proposals or ideas covering a wide spectrum of themes and scales had also been raised by the public. The majority were pertaining to tourism and recreational uses, while some were related to civic, community, education, residential, industrial and other uses. There were also proposals to develop the outlying islands, including Soko Islands, Peng Chau and Cheung Chau, for tourism and recreational uses to complement Lantau. The Way Forward A preliminary assessment on the development proposals has been conducted to examine if these proposals are appropriate to be further considered in the Concept Plan. Major considerations include compatibility with the planning intentions and the environment of Lantau, relevant Government policies, technical feasibility, committed use, land availability, road access and infrastructure, and alternative locations in the territory, etc. Proposals considered not appropriate to be taken forward are in List A and those which could be further considered are in List B. Some of the proposed uses, including casino, stadium, racecourse, cruise terminal, large-scale tourism development on artificial island, reclamation along natural coast and ecologically and landscape sensitive areas, industrial use and additional new town and satellite city, etc., are considered not appropriate to be taken forward. Proposals considered possible, such as various types of entertainment and recreational uses, museums, entertainment centres, retail and dining facilities, hiking/heritage/eco-trails, eco-tour centres and local improvement projects, etc. will be assessed further in the overall context of the Concept Plan.

Cross-boundary Transport Hub at Siu Ho Wan Background Siu Ho Wan is strategically located close to the North Lantau Highway Connection (NLHC) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and has the potential to serve as a transport interchange for cross-boundary traffic. A possible location of the cross-boundary transport hub is at MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot. The depot occupies 30 ha of land, with flexibility built into the design for retrofitting development above the depot. MTR access to Siu Ho Wan on the Tung Chung Line could be provided by the construction of an additional station, subject to Government’s approval for the station and authorization under the relevant Ordinance. The cross-boundary transport hub has the potential to be a major transport interchange, providing park-and-ride facilities, a MTR station and a public transport interchange.

I would particularly address this message to Professor Patrick Lau Sau Shing who represents my Functional Constituency in Legco. Patrick has often requested comment and feedback from his constituents - and the comments contained in the attached document fully convey my views. I am happy to share these views with all panel members. I appeal to all in the panel to consider the future of Lantau extremely carefully. The enjoyment of this priceless natural treasure by generations yet unborn, will depend very much on decisions made in the next few years. Sincerely, Gordon Andreassend MBE FHKIS, MNZIS, MRICS Lantau Map 2026 The comments shown below were prepared in January 2006 in a project where writers gave their views of development in Lantau in 20 years time. Here is what I wrote at that time. I have known Lantau’s tracks and trails for about 40 years, and as a surveyor and a mapper had almost 30 years to look at Lantau in greater detail on Lands Department aerial photos and maps.
