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. -

Appendix 13.2
Expansion of Hong Kong International Airport into a Three-Runway System Environmental Impact Assessment Report Appendix 13.2 Population Biology of the Hong Kong/Pearl River Estuary Population of the Chinese White Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ): Literature Review 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. There are sixteen confirmed cetacean species in Hong Kong waters (Jefferson & Hung, 2007) and in March 2009, a Humpback whale was also reported in Hong Kong, which increased the number of recorded species to 17. There have also been two unconfirmed additional species, both baleen whales, in Hong Kong waters. 1.2. Although other cetaceans, including the Bottlenose Dolphin and False Killer Whale, have been previously noted in Hong Kong waters, these sightings are likely to be transient or extralimital records and only two species of cetaceans, the Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) or Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ) and the Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides ) are resident. 1.3. There appears to be only a limited overlap in the distribution of the CWD and Finless Porpoise in local Hong Kong waters, as the CWD tends to be predominantly distributed in the western waters, whereas the Finless Porpoise is usually recorded in areas further to the south and east of Hong Kong. The southwestern coast of Lantau around Fan Lau and the Soko Islands represent the only areas in Hong Kong where both species are commonly seen (Parsons et al ., 1995; Jefferson, 2000; Jefferson et al ., 2002). 1.4. As such, only the CWD has been consistently reported within the proposed study area of the extension of the existing Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and the third runway (3RS Project), comprising the area from Tuen Mun to the southwest of the existing airport platform. -

Legco Letter 22 April
CB(1)1429/08-09(01) Hon Cheung Hok-ming, SBS, JP Chairman Panel on Transport Legislative Council Legislative Council Building 8 Jackson Road, Central Hong Kong Dear Mr. Cheung, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (‘HZMB’) and public opposition to the Hong Kong Link Road (‘HKLR’) route The purpose of this letter is to urgently bring to the attention of the Panel on Transport the extent of public opposition to the proposed route of the HKLR of the HZMB after the bridge ‘lands’ in Hong Kong territory. Tung Chung Sustainable Development and other local organisations working to promote sustainable development have voiced concerns to the Highways Department regarding the impact of the proposed HKLR route and made counter proposals for a viable alternative. We request the Legislative Council Panel on Transport to urgently review the counter proposal and take account of the public opposition to the road route proposed by the Highways Department. Details of the negative impact of the HD / Arup proposed route for the HKLR for the HZMB are in the attached documents. Most importantly, the proposed route will have a huge negative impact on the health of local residents because of the proximity of vehicle emissions from a major highway. As management professionals we favour sustainable development and do not appose the construction of the HZMB, but we do object to the proposed route. We urge you to table the details of the no pollution solution to the Panel on Transport during your meeting on Friday 24th April. Yours sincerely, (Martin Purbrick) for Tung Chung Sustainable Development Alliance c.c. -

A Relational Geography of Heritage in Post-1997 Hong Kong
A RELATIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF HERITAGE IN POST-1997 HONG KONG by Lachlan Barber B.A., The University of King’s College, 2004 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Lachlan Barber, 2014 Abstract The central question of this dissertation is: what can Hong Kong teach us about the geography of heritage? The study considers the discursive transformation of cultural heritage as a feature of Hong Kong’s transition since the 1997 retrocession to Chinese sovereignty. Specifically, it traces the contradictory growth of interest in heritage as an urban amenity on the part of the government, and its simultaneous framing as a socio-political critique of neoliberal governance on the part of actors in civil society. The study analyses these dynamics from a perspective attentive to the relationships – forged through various forms of mobility and comparison – between Hong Kong and other places including mainland China, Great Britain, and urban competitors. The project relies on data gathered through English-language research conducted over a period of two and a half years. Sixty in-depth interviews were carried out with experts, activists, professionals and politicians in Hong Kong. Extensive surveys of government documents, the print and online media, and archival materials were undertaken. Other methods employed include site visits and participant observation. The methodology was oriented around the analysis of processes of heritage policy and contestation over a number of sites in Central, Hong Kong and surrounding districts where contradictory visions of the meaning of heritage have played out materially.
