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.

  • Press Release 14 July 2016 Common Archduke Has Established a Stable
    Press Release 14 July 2016 Common Archduke has Established a Stable Population on Lantau island Lantau Development Plan Unveiled at the End of the Year Concerns for Threats to Butterfly Habitats Butterfly surveys at Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat Green Power previously expanded the butterfly survey to cover Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat on Lantau; all are on the margin of Lantau North Country Park. From May to July, three surveys were carried out and a total of 84 butterfly species were recorded, including two very rare and eight rare butterfly species. There were also two important findings: Common Archduke (Lexias pardalis) and Common Banded Demon (Notocrypta paralysos), both of which were only found in Hong Kong recently and have yet to be classified for their rarity. The former species was recorded at all three sites in the present survey, with females, males and individuals of different generations. Over 20 individuals were recorded in the same period. Mr. Matthew Sin, Senior Environmental Affairs Manager of Green Power, remarked that this was an exciting discovery and it was likely that Common Archduke had established a stable population in the woods of Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat. These might be the largest habitats for the species in Hong Kong. Matthew pointed out that Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat are all lowland woods that are basically free from development and hence have their natural ecology well preserved. In addition, their links to Lantau North Country Park make a connected highland and lowland woodland habitat, nurturing the thriving butterfly populations.

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.

  • For Discussion on Task Force on Land Supply 5 December 2017 Paper No
    For discussion on Task Force on Land Supply 5 December 2017 Paper No. 12/2017 TASK FORCE ON LAND SUPPLY Reclaiming the Reservoirs PURPOSE Some members of the public suggested releasing and reclaiming reservoirs for large-scale housing development. This paper provides Members with the background information about the water supply in Hong Kong, and the potential challenges in taking forward this suggestion (“the suggestion”). BACKGROUND Water Supply in Hong Kong 2. Hong Kong does not have large rivers or lakes. Its annual rainfall averages around 2 400 mm and takes place mainly in the summer months. Coupled with Hong Kong’s hilly terrain, collection of rain water for potable uses has always been a challenge in the water supply history of Hong Kong. Catchwaters and reservoirs are constructed to deal with the uneven distribution of rainfall. With the continuous urbanization and economic development, the Government has been adopting a multi-barrier approach to control the risk of pollution of our valuable water resources. This includes designating about 30% of the territories as water gathering grounds within which developments are under strict control and adopting advanced water treatment technology before distributing the treated water for consumption by the citizen. 3. Since the first reservoir system was built in 1863, Hong Kong now has a total of 17 reservoirs1 (Figure 1) which altogether have a storage capacity of 586 million cubic metres (MCM) collecting on average an annual yield of around 246 MCM. Among these reservoirs, the High Island Reservoir (HIR) and the Plover Cove Reservoir (PCR) with storage capacity of 281 MCM and 230 MCM respectively are the two largest reservoirs, accounting for 87% of the total storage capacity.

  • Subsidising the Installation of Seats and Real-Time Bus Arrival Information Display Panels at Covered Bus Stops by Franchised Bus Companies
    Subsidising the installation of seats and real-time bus arrival information display panels at covered bus stops by franchised bus companies Purpose This paper aims to brief Members on the Government’s initiative on subsidising the installation of seats and real-time bus arrival information display panels (“display panels”) 1 at covered bus stops by franchised bus companies as well as to provide the list of the bus stops to be installed with such facilities by the bus companies and the related installation timetable in Islands District. Background 2. At present, there are about 3 000 covered bus termini 2, en-route stops and bus-bus interchanges across the territory, of which only about 200 covered bus stops are installed with seats. To help all franchised bus companies 3 expedite the installation of seats for the convenience of passengers, especially the elderly and those in need, the Government will subsidise franchised bus companies for installing seats at covered bus stops without seats. 3. Separately, all franchised bus companies have been gradually rolling out their real-time arrival information systems 4. Currently, KMB and LWB are providing real-time bus arrival information of about 500 regular bus routes to the passengers through their websites and mobile phone applications, whilst other franchised bus companies will introduce the real-time bus arrival information systems gradually by end 2018 so that passengers can know their waiting time and plan their journeys better. In addition to the use of websites and mobile 1 The Government has earmarked $88.27 million to subsidise franchised bus companies for installing seats and display panels.
