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. It would be able to provide convenient transfer to rail services for travelling to the city centre and would reduce the pressure of external traffic on the urban road network. The proposal is in line with the transport policy of having railway as the backbone and helps meet the need for park-and-ride facilities in the longer term for vehicles coming from the Pearl River West. Commercial uses above the transport hub would be possible, subject to authorization under the relevant Ordinances. Key Issues Owing to some misunderstanding that reclamation is required for the proposed transport hub, some negative comments on the possible adverse environmental impacts were received during the consultation on the Concept Plan. Otherwise, the proposed cross-boundary transport hub is generally supported. p.204 Annex 4 – E1 The Way Forward The MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) is the proponent of the proposed development. Upon receipt of the development proposal from MTRCL, the proposal will need to be carefully examined by the Government. The submission should include development details with supporting technical assessments demonstrating the viability, land use compatibility, environmental acceptability and technical feasibility of the proposed development.

  • Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation
    213 Chapter 12 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation While developing the infrastructure for Hong Kong’s economic growth, the Government is enriching the city’s living environment at the same time through conservation and revitalisation. Organisational Framework The Development Bureau was established on July 1, 2007 following the reorganisation of the Government Secretariat’s Policy Bureaux. It consists of two policy branches: Planning and Lands, and Works. The Development Opportunities Office was set up under the Bureau in 2009. The Planning and Lands Branch is responsible for policy governing planning, development, land use and supply, urban renewal, building safety, and land registration. Its policy objectives are to facilitate Hong Kong’s continual development through effective planning and use of land, a steady and sufficient supply of land, efficient registration of land, promoting and ensuring building safety and timely maintenance, and expediting urban renewal. The Works Branch is responsible for formulating public works policies and co-ordinating and monitoring the implementation of public works projects. It also takes charge of policy matters concerning greening, water supply, slope safety, and flood prevention as well as heritage conservation. The Development Bureau oversees the Planning Department, Lands Department, Buildings Department, Land Registry, Architectural Services Department, Civil Engineering and Development Department, Drainage Services Department, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and Water Supplies Department. The reorganisation of these nine government departments under one roof ensures more efficient co-ordination and resolution of inter-departmental issues relating to infrastructure development at an early stage. The Development Bureau is also responsible for enhancing the Government’s heritage conservation work and striking a balance between development and 214 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation conservation.

  • Municipal Solid Waste Management in Hong Kong
    MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN HONG KONG Case ID: 2020009B Overview Like many other cities, Hong Kong saw its waste levels grow along with its economy. Hong Kong’s municipal solid waste (MSW) load increased steadily since the mid-1980s , mirroring the city’s rapid economic expansion and population growth.1 Over the past decade, Hong Kong’s MSW load began to outpace population growth, meaning that per capita MSW disposal went up. This increase has become more marked since 2011, making it a serious issue. According to the Environmental Protection Department (EPD), Hong Kong’s per capita MSW disposal rate (in kg/person/day) rose from 1.27 in 2011 to 1.41 in 2016. Hong Kong’s dependence on landfills for MSW started long before its economic boom. However, the three strategic landfills in Hong Kong were expected to reach capacity in 2019.2 Therefore, the government therefore needed to come up with solutions and long term goals to resolve a worsening ‘garbage crisis’ and to make sure that Hong Kong’s MSW management practices were sustainable. Many suggested that the government needed to properly define the problem and identify underlying root causes before coming up with solutions. Hong Kong’s growing population was an important reason for the emerging ‘garbage crisis’, but there were other structural causes as well. With limited MSW treatment options, 63 per cent of Hong Kong’s MSW was disposed at three strategic landfills, with the rest being recycled or reused. By contrast, other advanced economies in the world such as Japan and Germany depended largely on incineration and recycling for waste management instead (Figure 1).3 This case was developed by Natalie FONG, edited by Dr.
