SDC Paper No. 7/2020 Annex 2 Annex 2 Sustainable Development of the Southern District Responses by Relevant Government Departments and Organisations (I) Response to enquiry (1) from the Transport and Housing Bureau To tie in with the redevelopment of Wah Fu, the actual implementation of the South Island Line (West) (SIL(W)) is subject to the actual programme for the development in the Wah Fu area and redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate as well as the build-up of transport demand. Besides, to implement the SIL(W), it is also necessary to free up space within Wah Fu Estate for railway construction, including Wah Fu Station proposed in the preliminary conceptual scheme of the SIL(W). The Transport and Housing Bureau invited the MTR Corporation Limited to submit a proposal for the SIL(W) in June 2019. In line with established procedures, prior to the finalisation of the railway scheme of SIL(W), we will consult the public, including the Legislative Council and the relevant District Councils, on the scheme. 1 (II) Response to enquiries (2) and (3) from the Transport Department Response to enquiry (2) Whether the Pok Fu Lam Moratorium will be lifted upon the completion of the proposed South Island Line (West) would depend on the traffic assessments in the Railway Development project on the traffic conditions in the Pok Fu Lam area. Response to enquiry (3) When there is a planning development, the project proponent shall conduct Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) to assess the traffic impact arising from the project. The TIA will assess the cumulative traffic impact arising from the existing, planned and committed developments within the study area, so that no adverse traffic impact will be caused by the proposed development. The government will plan and implement public transport services at appropriate time according to the construction progress and completion dates of the planning development so as to enhance the existing public transport network as well as to cater for the increase in passenger demand. When planning for these arrangements, the Government will consider various factors such as TIA, views of public transport service providers, operating situation of existing public transport services, traffic conditions in the neighborhood roads, views of local concerned groups, etc., and will consult the relevant committee(s) appropriately. 2 (III) Response to enquiries (3) and (4) from the Housing Department Response to enquiry (3) Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) for Wah Fu Estate Redevelopment The proposed public housing development at Pok Fu Lam South is mainly used as reception sites for the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate. After the implementation of the public housing development on the five sites at Pok Fu Lam South, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) will begin the planning of the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate. As the population growth of the Pok Fu Lam area is expected only after the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate and currently the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate is at the conceptual stage, the TIA conducted by the government for the five sites at Pok Fu Lam South does not include the potential traffic impact after the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate. HA will conduct a series of technical studies including TIA nearer the clearance and redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate, and submit it to relevant authorities, including the Transport Department for approval. The TIA will not only consider the development parameters after the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate, but also consider the development in the vicinity of Wah Fu Estate area, including the redevelopment of the Queen Mary Hospital and the expansion of the Cyberport, and the actual traffic flow in the Pok Fu Lam area immediately before the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate. The Housing Department, the Railway Development Office of the Highways Department and the MTR Corporation will coordinate closely and the South Island Line (West) project will be included in the TIA. The Transport Department will review the TIA of the Wah Fu redevelopment project in detail to ensure that the assessment report submitted by HA will objectively reflect the traffic situation after the completion of the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate and related transportation infrastructure project(s), and propose practical and effective traffic improvement measures, to ensure that the additional traffic caused by the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate project will not cause unacceptable traffic impact in the vicinity of the development. 3 Response to enquiry (4) The five sites in Pokfulam South are expected to provide about 8,900 public housing units to serve as the major reception resources for Wah Fu Estate Redevelopment. Wah Fu Estate will be retained for public housing use after redevelopment and is expected to provide 12,200 flats against the existing 9,200 flats. Upon completion, the five sites and the existing Wah Fu Estate upon redevelopment will provide a total of about 21,100 public housing units, i.e. a net increase of about 11,900. The total population is expected to reach about 61,000, i.e. a net increase of about 35,000. 4 (IV) Response to enquiry (5) from the Innovation and Technology Bureau The proposed Cyberport expansion project will provide a new office block with a gross floor area of about 66 000 square metres, including about 43 500 square metres of office space and co-working space, Cyberport Smart-Space. Under the current plan, the project is expected to create around 1 200 and 6 300 jobs during construction and after the new building comes into operation respectively. 5 (V) Response to enquiry (6) from the Hospital Authority Plan for Redevelopment of Queen Mary Hospital Redevelopment of Queen Mary Hospital (QMH), phase 1 is implemented in two stages, namely the preparatory works and the main works. The preparatory works stage commenced in July 2014. In this stage the vacated Senior Staff Quarters (SSQ) was converted into clinical pathology laboratories, staff accommodation, teaching facilities and car parking facilities for the decanting of facilities and equipment in the Clinical Pathology Building (CPB), University Pathology Building (UPB) and Housemen Quarters (HQ). The conversion of SSQ was substantially completed in March 2017. The main works of Redevelopment of QMH, phase 1 commenced in October 2018. In this stage, CPB, UPB and HQ were demolished for constructing a new block with additional space and larger floor plates to meet operational needs, complement service developments and at the same time promote integrated medical research and education. The New Block will mainly accommodate Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department, Emergency Medicine Wards, Diagnostic Radiology Department, Operating Theatres, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, Intensive Care Unit (ICU)/Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and In-patient Wards. The New Block will adopt a patient-oriented design with well-coordinated services and convenient connection between the A&E Department and hot floors such as operating theatres and ICU so as to strengthen emergency services for critical patients. A new access road from Pokfulam Road to the New Block will be formed for enhancement of emergency services and alleviation of traffic congestion at the existing hospital main road. A rooftop helipad will also be provided in the New Block to enhance the transportation arrangement for life saving service. 6 Project construction for Redevelopment of QMH, phase 1 is planned for completion in 2024. According to the second 10-year Hospital Development Plan announced by the Government, upon the completion of Phase 1 redevelopment, Phase 2 redevelopment will commence, which will connect with the new block with a view to forming a mega-block to accommodate other key clinical services, with around 350 planned additional beds. The redeveloped QMH will become a modern medical centre which is adaptable to future service delivery models with adequate capacity and capability to meet the long-term needs of the community. The update on the QMH Redevelopment Project is at Appendix. Medical Facilities in Sandy Bay The functional roles of the Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital at Sandy Bay, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Fung Yiu King Hospital and MacLehose Medical Rehabilitation Centre (SBHs) are defined by the Clinical Services Plan for the Hong Kong West Cluster (HKWC CSP). Hence any future development or refurbishment plan of the three hospitals in Sandy Bay will be referenced to the HKWC CSP as well as the service planning of respective hospitals accordingly. 7 (VI) Response to enquiry (7) from the University of Hong Kong HKU Developments (Southern District) A. Sassoon Road Campus To cope with the need for increasing the healthcare teaching capacities for medical and nursing students, HKU is working on the following short, mid and long- term proposals: 1. Enhancement of teaching facilities cum medical campus development – carrying out conversion works for additional anatomy dissecting laboratories and storage for cadavers at the Laboratory Block, as well as enablement of virtual connection by telepresence solution across different teaching venues at the Sassoon Road medical campus (short-term, planned for 2020); 2. Construction of an additional academic building by expanding the No. 3 Sassoon Road site and ancillary facilities at No. 6 Sassoon Road for medical and nursing students (mid-term, planned for 2026); 3. Redevelopment of Patrick Manson Building at No. 7 Sassoon Road (long- term, planned for 2028); and 4. Enhancement of pedestrian connectivity by a university corridor at Sassoon Road medical campus (long-term, planned for 2028). B. Student Hostels To alleviate the shortage in hostel places, two projects in the Southern District have been planned: 1. Construction of 2 hostel buildings at the High West site at No. 144 Pokfulam Road; after district consultation and consequential to the planning application for hostel use, the existing staff quarters will be redeveloped in conjunction (planned for 2024); and 2.

Follow-up action (a) the implementation situation of the housing initiative announced in June 2018 to re-allocate nine private housing sites at Kai Tak and Anderson Road Quarry for public housing development (such as the progress achieved and tasks required to be completed for each of the sites, relevant timetables, etc.). 2. In June 2018, the Chief Executive announced the reallocation of nine sites at Kai Tak and Anderson Road Quarry, which were originally intended for sale, for public housing. These sites are expected to provide some 11 000 public housing units in total. Among the sites, Kai Tak Area 1E Site 1 was allocated to the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) for the redevelopment of Chun Seen Mei Chuen. HKHS can then make use of the original site of Chun Seen Mei Chuen to redevelop Lok Man Sun Chuen by phases. The remaining new units on this Kai Tak site can also be used to rehouse other eligible households affected by development projects of the Government and the Urban Renewal Authority. 3. The remaining eight sites1 will be developed as subsidised sale flats (SSFs) to address the home ownership aspirations of low to middle- income families. 1 Including the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA)’s Kai Tak Area 2B Site 2, Anderson Road Quarry Sites R2-5, R2-6 and R2-7; and HKHS’ Kai Tak Area 2B Site 1, Anderson Road Quarry Sites R2-2, R2-3 and R2-4 4.
