Confirmation of the Minutes of the 115th Meeting of K&T DC Held on 8 November 2018 2. Mr LEUNG Tsz-wing, Dennis moved a motion to confirm the minutes. The motion was seconded by Mr CHOW Wai-hung, Rayman and Miss CHU Lai-ling. K&T DC endorsed the said minutes unanimously. Discussion Items Feasibility Studies on Multi-storey Complex for Container Storage and Cargo Handling in Tsing Yi and Multi-storey Heavy Goods Vehicle Car Park cum Modern Logistics Building in Kwai Chung (Proposed by the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Civil Engineering and Development Department) (K&T DC Paper No. 1/D/2019) (K&T DC Paper No. 1a/D/2019) (tabled at the meeting) 3. Miss LAM Bing-bing, Erica, Acting Principal Assistant Secretary for Transport & Housing (Transport) 10 of the Transport and Housing Bureau (THB) said that THB had conducted a review on the port back-up land in Kwai Tsing so as to optimise utilisation and efficiency of such land to support port operations and cater for future development needs. THB completed the review in 2015 and introduced the relevant findings to K&T DC. One of the proposals was to explore the feasibility of developing multi-storey port back-up facilities at suitable sites so as to release more space to support port development. The proposal was supported by stakeholders in general. THB later commissioned two consultancy studies to explore the feasibility of developing a Tsing Yi site into a multi-storey facility for container storage and cargo handling and a Kwai Chung site into a container vehicle and lorry car park. The preliminary findings of the consultancy studies showed that both proposals were feasible and would not have much impact on the traffic, landscape, noise levels, environment, etc. of the district. 4. Mr CHAN Tze-ho, Chief Engineer/West 4 of the Civil Engineering and Responsible Department Development Department (CEDD) introduced the content of the two feasibility studies with a slide show. 5. Mr POON Chi-shing put forth opinions as follows: (i) Departments should disclose information and data mentioned in slide shows to Members earlier so that Members could be better prepared to participate in discussions and give feedback. (ii) The Report of the Task Force on Land Supply (the Report) put forth the conceptual options of relocating Kwai Tsing Container Terminals (KTCTs) and building housing units on elevated platforms above KTCTs. If these options were adopted, the current proposal of developing multi-storey facilities would hinder their development. Therefore, THB should carefully think about the future development planning for the site. (iii) He suggested providing private car parking spaces in large-scale infrastructure projects to alleviate the shortage of parking spaces in Tsing Yi. 6. Mr CHOW Wai-hung, Rayman put forth opinions as follows: (i) In view of the shortage of parking spaces for large vehicles in Kwai Tsing, he supported the proposals in principle. (ii) He agreed that the departments should disclose the details of the feasibility studies to Members as early as possible. (iii) Given the vast areas of the two sites, he suggested providing green belts or recreational and sports facilities (such as cycle tracks and jogging tracks) for residents’ use. 7. Ms CHEUNG Wai-ching, Clarice put forth opinions and enquiry as follows: (i) She hoped that the Government could decide on the future direction of the development of KTCTs as soon as possible so as to confirm whether there was a need to develop port back-up land. Responsible Department (ii) Since parking spaces for large vehicles were inadequate in Kwai Tsing, she suggested opening up the parking spaces of the multi-storey buildings for hire by visitors. (iii) According to CEDD, the construction of multi-storey buildings would not have significant impact on the current traffic conditions of Tsing Yi South Bridge as the increased vehicular flow would mainly be routed through nearby expressways. Tsing Yi South Bridge, being a major transport hub of the Tsing Yi Industrial Area nowadays, had extremely busy traffic flow. She doubted whether CEDD had carried out the estimations based on the actual traffic flow at different periods of time. (iv) How CEDD would decide what companies could operate in the multi-storey buildings. 8. Mr WONG Yun-tat put forth opinions as follows: (i) He did not oppose the construction of multi-storey buildings but was concerned about whether they would have adverse impact on local residents’ lives. (ii) At present, the Stonecutters Bridge still had spare capacity to cope with a higher traffic flow, and he suggested that the Transport Department (TD) should implement measures to attract more people to use it.
