Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Atrium Link Extension Environmental Impact Assessment Report Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Atrium Link Extension Environmental Impact Assessment Report 7 LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Introduction 7.1 This Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) covers the proposed Atrium Link Extension of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai North. The project proponent is Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC). This section assesses the potential landscape and visual impact due to the construction and operation of the proposed work in accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO). 7.2 Existing HKCEC consists of three major components, i.e., Phase 1, Phase 2 and the Atrium Link found in between these Phases. Phase 1 is commonly known as “Old Wing” while Phase 2 as “New Wing”. Local people of Hong Kong are more familiar with these terms and this LVIA will use them to serve better communication. Project Description 7.3 Figure 7.1 shows an existing aerial view of HKCEC in Wan Chai North and the developments along the waterfront of Victoria Harbour. The existing HKCEC Atrium Link joins up the “New Wing” and the “Old Wing”. The proposed works involve the expansion of the existing Exhibition Halls to provide additional floor spaces to accommodate large-scale events. Figures in Appendix 7.1 show the master layout and architectural design of the proposed works. Full description and justification on the need on the extension project is provided in Section 2 of this EIA report. Review of Planning and Development Control Framework 7.4 A review of the existing and planned development framework for the proposed works and for the surroundings has been considered. It aims to identify issues for the neighbouring planned land uses, to identify potential resources and sensitive receivers, and to ensure a high compatibility between the proposed project and the surroundings. 7.5 Wan Chai North Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) No. S/H25/1 has been examined. The area near the waterfront is dominated by patches of Other Specified Use (OU), suggesting the sensitive nature and planning of the area. The Plan shows possible developments, including the provision of Open Spaces (O) to the east and to the west of the existing HKCEC “New Wing”. It also shows the proposed relocation of Wan Chai Ferry Pier and the planning of a large Comprehensive Development Area (CDA) on the existing bus terminal to the south of Wan Chai Ferry Pier. Although the Plan has been made statutory under the Town Planning Ordinance, it shall by no means be considered a consolidated plan due to the strong public criticisms and juridical reviews in recent years. Intended Final 7-1 Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Atrium Link Extension Environmental Impact Assessment Report land use pattern extracted from the Plan is shown on Figure 7.2. 7.6 The existing area of HKCEC Atrium Link has been zoned as OU. Part of the proposed Atrium Link Extension falls within the area designated as ‘Road’ on the Wai Chai North OZP which requires planning permission from the Town Planning Board (TPB) according to Section 16 of the Town Planning Ordinance. An application to TPB has already been approved earlier to expand the area to suit the intended Atrium Link Extension. 7.7 Major waterfront development projects have been previously planned along the waterfront near Wan Chai, including: - Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII) - Central Wan Chai Bypass (CWB) and Road P2 These projects are somewhat interlinked because they require a prerequisite of consolidated planning of reclamation from Central to Causeway Bay. With strong objection on reclamation and support for harbour protection from the public in recent years, these developments are still under review by the authorities. There is some chance that these developments will not be constructed after several years, when the construction of the proposed HKCEC Atrium Link Extension is already completed. Nevertheless, this report takes the approach on what has been already planned by the Government years ago, assuming the construction of these developments commences when the proposed ALE is nearly completed. Environmental Legislation and Standards 7.8 The followings are considered: • Wan Chai North Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) No. S/H25/1 and the Town Planning Ordinance • Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance, Annexes 10 and 18 of Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) Technical Memorandum and EIAO Guidance Note No. 8/2002. • Protection of the Harbour Ordinance • Metroplan (Oct 1991) • Central & Wan Chai Reclamation : Development of Urban Design Parameters (DUDPS) • Hong Kong Island West Development Statement (HKWDS) • Government General Regulation 740 –sets out restrictions on the preservation and felling of trees in Hong Kong Final 7-2 Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Atrium Link Extension Environmental Impact Assessment Report • ETWBTC No. 29/2004 Registration of Old and Valuable Trees and Guidelines for their Preservation – provides priority protection to the trees in the Register. Furthermore, the Government has already put in place a comprehensive range of administrative and legislative measures to preserve trees on Government land. • ETWBTC No. 2/2004 Maintenance of Vegetation and Hard Landscape Features – sets out the government departmental responsibilities for maintenance of vegetation and hard landscape features. • ETWBTC No. 14/2002 Management and Maintenance of Natural Vegetation and Landscape Works, and Tree Preservation – defines and outlines the management and maintenance responsibilities for natural vegetation and landscape works, and the authorities for tree preservation and felling. • ETWBTC No. 7/2002 Tree planting in Public Works – affirms the advocated policy on tree planting which adopts a flexible and balanced approach in the planning and design of public works. • Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines, Section 4: Recreation, Open Space and Greening and Section 11: Urban Design Guidelines – outlines the guidelines to be considered for open space design, greening and urban design. • Technical Reports of Landscape Value Mapping in Hong Kong by Planning Department – establishes the essential landscape baseline information which provides a systematic reference framework to facilitate landscape assessment and broad environmental assessment of major projects at territorial level. Methodology of Assessment of Landscape Impacts 7.9 The assessment of landscape impacts has adopted the following process: • Identification of the baseline Landscape Resources (LR) and Landscape Character Area (LCA) found within the study boundary defined by EPD’s Study Brief. This was firstly prepared by desktop research study on aerial photos and topographical maps, then by site visits and photo-retaking for verification. • Assessment of “Sensitivity to Change” to the LR and LCA. This is affected by factors including: (i) whether the resource is common or rare; (ii) whether it is considered to be of local, regional, national or global importance; (iii) whether there are any statutory or regulatory limitations / requirements relating to the resource; (iv) the quality of the resource; (v) the maturity of the resource, and (vi) the ability of the resource to accommodate changes. The sensitivity of each LR and LCA is separated into construction phase and operation phase. The rating is classified as below: Final 7-3 Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Atrium Link Extension Environmental Impact Assessment Report High: Important LR or LCA of particularly distinctive characteristics or high importance, and is sensitive to relatively small changes Medium: LR or LCA of moderate landscape characteristics and value, and is reasonably tolerant to change Low: LR or LCA with low landscape characteristics and value, and is largely tolerant to change • Assessment of “Magnitude of Change” for landscape impacts. This is affected by factors including: (i) the physical extent of impact; (ii) the landscape context of impact and (iii) the time-scale of impact, such as whether it is temporary (short, medium or long term), permanent with reversible potentials, or irreversibly permanent. Magnitude of Change is separately considered for construction phase and operation phase. For operation phase, it is further divided into a scenario with all adjacent waterfront developments (i.e., Road P2, WDII etc.) to be constructed and another scenario without these developments. The assessment for these scenarios, however, still refers to the magnitude of change arisen from the operation of the proposed Atrium Link Extension itself with all these developments in the background/ context. The rating for “Magnitude of Change” is classified as below: Large: LR or LCA will suffer a major change. Intermediate: LR or LCA will suffer a moderate change. Small: LR or LCA will suffer a barely perceptible change. Negligible: LR or LCA will suffer no discernible change. • Assessment of the “Impact Significance Threshold Before Mitigation” for landscape impacts. The assessment of landscape impacts during construction, during operation with or without all adjacent waterfront developments is produced by synthesizing the “Sensitivity to Change” and “Magnitude of Change” for various LR and LCA according to Table 7.1 . The degree of significance is divided into four thresholds, depending on the combination: Substantial: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal will cause significant deterioration or improvement in existing landscape quality Moderate: Adverse / beneficial

    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • Hung Hom Station to Transform Into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line
    PR040/21 7 June 2021 Hung Hom Station to Transform into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line The new Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) platform at Hung Hom Station (“HUH”) will be opened on 20 June 2021 (Sunday), i.e. one week before the commissioning of TML, and new interchange arrangements for the West Rail Line (“WRL”) and the East Rail Line (“EAL”) will be in place on the same day. A series of upgrading works, including the construction of new platforms, have been implemented at HUH to cope with the full opening of the TML, as well as the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL. The new platforms will be put into service in phases according to the progress of the two projects. While the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL is still under construction, upon the opening of the new TML platform at HUH, passengers have to pass through the concourse to reach the existing EAL platform and the WRL (future TML) platform for changing between EAL and WRL (future TML) at HUH. (Please refer to annex for details). Passengers will have to follow the new interchange arrangements until the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL and the full launch of the new two-level platforms at HUH. By then passengers will be taking the EAL and TML at the new platforms. “Signage with colours corresponding to the relevant rail lines will be installed to direct passengers to the platforms they want to go to. We will also deploy additional staff, put up notices and make public announcements to assist and remind passengers of the new arrangements.

  • PR003/20 17 January 2020 Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 Commences Service
    PR003/20 17 January 2020 Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 commences service on 14 February 2020 The MTR Corporation is making its final preparation for the opening of Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) Phase 1 on 14 February 2020, commencing services at three new stations, namely Hin Keng Station, the expanded part of Diamond Hill Station and Kai Tak Station. The MTR Corporation will provide special fare promotions for TML Phase 1. Upon the opening of TML Phase 1, passengers travelling on the Ma On Shan Line (“MOL”) will be able to travel to Kai Tak Station in East Kowloon via Hin Keng Station and Diamond Hill Station without the need to interchange. The expanded Diamond Hill Station will become a new interchange station between TML and the Kwun Tong Line, allowing passengers to travel from the New Territories (NT) North and NT East districts to the East Kowloon and Hong Kong Island East districts in a more efficient and convenient manner. Such new routing will help relieve the current peak passenger load between Tai Wai and Kowloon Tong Stations on the East Rail Line. At the end of January, all passenger trains on the MOL will carry out non-passenger trains testing along the new railway section, i.e. between Hin Keng and Kai Tak Stations. Train frequency of the MOL during peak hours will be slightly adjusted to around 3.5 minutes intervals, similar to the operation arrangements upon TML Phase 1 Opening. Passengers are reminded to pay attention to our announcement and arrangements. The timing for the full opening of TML would depend on the implementation of the suitable measures at Hung Hom Station extension and its connecting structures, and is expected to take place in 2021.
