Drawing on five months of archival research at the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Public Records Office (PRO) in 2016 as well as 17 months of fieldwork conducted between 2012, 2013 and 2016, this article provides a much- needed overview of why sustainable waste management has always been such a challenge for Hong Kong. -

Background 1.1 The Territorial Development Strategy Review in 1990s first identified that there was potential for strategic growth in the North East New Territories (NENT). The Planning and Development Study on NENT commissioned in 1998 identified Kwu Tung North (KTN), Fanling North (FLN) and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling (PC/TKL) as suitable for New Development Areas (NDAs) development. The Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy, promulgated in 2007, recommended to proceed with the KTN and FLN NDAs, among others, to address the long-term housing demand and provide employment opportunities. -
Note for Public Works Subcommittee of Finance Committee
For information PWSCI(2011-12)8 NOTE FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE OF FINANCE COMMITTEE Forecast of submissions for the 2011-12 Legislative Council session This note gives an overview of the potential capital works items to be submitted to the Public Works Subcommittee in the 2011-12 Legislative Council session. 2. The pool of items that may be ready for submission to the Public Works Subcommittee before the 2012 summer recess totals 65 as listed in ——— Enclosure 1. To enable Members to have a better understanding of the items, we ——— have provided supplementary information on each item at Enclosure 2 following the same order presented in Enclosure 1. 3. The Administration will try to adhere to the targets as much as possible. However, programme changes arising during the design, statutory gazettal and objections, and consultation stages, etc. are expected. We will account for deviations from the current forecast in a year-end report for Members’ reference. 4. Members are also invited to note that funding under 161DR “Restoration of Shuen Wan Landfill―post-completion environmental monitoring work” for the environmental monitoring work at the Shuen Wan Landfill, which is currently funded under the Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF), will lapse in December 2011. With more operational experience gained in landfill management, it has become clearer to the Administration that the post-completion environmental monitoring work involves mainly on-going monitoring of landfill gas and leachate pollution of closed landfills through existing landfill gas and leachate management systems. We therefore consider that the expenditure of the monitoring work is more akin to a recurrent commitment rather than a works project in nature. -

It is the intention to solicit public views through discussion on four topics, namely, strategic roles of NDAs, people-oriented communities, sustainable living environment and implementation mechanism. This topical note is prepared to provide background information on strategic roles of NDAs with a view to facilitating public discussion on this topic. 1 Background “The Planning and Development Study on North East New Territories” (the NENT Study) commissioned in the late 1990’s, identified Kwu Tung North (KTN), Fanling North (FLN) and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling (PC/TKL) as suitable New Development Areas (NDAs). It recommended that KTN, FLN and PC/TKL could proceed as one scheme (Three-In-One Scheme), i.e. an integral whole with shared community facilities, infrastructure and reprovisioning arrangements. -
Paper on the Proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North
立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(1)925/13-14(07) Ref: CB1/PL/DEV Panel on Development Meeting on 25 February 2014 Background brief on the proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Areas Purpose This paper provides background information on the proposed Kwu Tung North ("KTN") and Fanling North ("FLN") New Development Areas ("NDAs") and gives a brief account of the views and concerns expressed by Members on the subject at the meetings of the Legislative Council ("LegCo") and the Panel on Development ("DEV Panel") since July 20131. Background 2. The Planning and Development Study on the North East New Territories commissioned in 1998 identified KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling ("PC/TKL") as suitable NDAs for development in one scheme, namely the NENT NDAs. In view of the slower growth of population, the NENT NDAs proposals were shelved in 2003. Four years later, the findings of the "Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy" recommended proceeding with the NDA developments to address the long-term housing need and to create more employment opportunities. 1 KTN and FLN NDAs are two of the three NDAs (KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling) proposed under the North East New Territories ("NENT") NDAs project. On 4 July 2013, having gone through three stages of public engagement from 2008 to 2012 on the proposed project, the Administration announced that it would first proceed with the planning of KTN and FLN NDAs. The proposed Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling NDA will be reviewed and re-planned. -
Waste Disposal Plan for Hong Kong Executive Summary
WASTE DISPOSAL PLAN FOR HONG KONG EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Waste Arisings Hong Kong's waste arisings currently amount to nearly 22,500 tonnes per day (t.p.d.) not including the 49,000 rrr of excavated and dredged materials which are dumped at sea. The main components of these arisings are household waste (approximately 4600 t.p.d.), industrial and commercial wastes (approximately l800 t.p.d.), construction waste (approximately 6500 t.p.d.), livestock waste (approximately 2000 t.p.d.), water works sludges (approximately 4000 t.p.d.) and pulverised fuel ash (approximately 2600 t.p.d.). Waste Collection Wastes are collected and delivered to disposal sites "by the statutory collection authorities (the Urban Council, the Regional Council and the Director of Environmental Protection), by numerous private waste collection contractors and, in the case of some industrial waste, by "in house" labour. The collection authorities collect and deliver for disposal most household, some commercial and most street wastes, some clinical waste and most excremental waste. The remainder is handled by the private sector. Environmental problems, which are generated by both the public and private sector waste collection systems, include odour, leachate spillage, dust, noise and littering. Existing controls over the operations of private sector waste collectors and transporters are fragmented and ineffective. Waste Disposal Most wastes are currently either incinerated at one of three government-operated incineration plants or disposed of at one of five government-operated landfills. The old composting plant at Chai Wan now functions as a temporary bulk transfer facility for the transport of publicly-collected waste to landfill.
