TKO) Is the Seventh New Town in Hong Kong Further Development of Tseung Kwan O EIA Report 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Background 1.1.1 Tseung Kwan O (TKO) is the seventh New Town in Hong Kong. Since the approval in 1982 to develop TKO into a new town, TKO has undergone very rapid development and the New Town now provides home to about 330,000 people. According to the current TKO Outline Zoning Plan (Plan No. S/TKO/14), the existing and currently planned development would bring the population up to around 480,000. 1.1.2 Over the past few years, Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) has conducted a number of studies on potential developments in TKO, to establish the extent of further development, population levels, strategic road networks and external connections, etc. However, since these studies have been carried out, a number of planning parameters have changed, including population level targets and the associated need for extensive reclamation, the implementation timing and scale of strategic road links, as well as the deletion of port facilities previously proposed in Area 131. A review of the overall planning of TKO is now being undertaken in the light of these recent changes, and to ensure a comprehensive planning approach to the development of this area within the context of the South East New Territories (SENT) Development Strategy. 1.1.3 Maunsell Consultants Asia Limited (MCAL) has been commissioned by the New Territories East Development Office of the CEDD of the Hong Kong SAR Government to undertake the Feasibility Study for Further Development of Tseung Kwan O (hereafter referred to as “the Project”), with environmental support from Maunsell Environmental Management Consultants Limited (MEMCL). The proposed developments under the Project comprise new developments at Town Centre South (TCS), Pak Shing Kok (PSK) and remaining areas of Tiu Keng Leng (TKL), Western Coast Road (WCR), and Cross Bay Link (CBL) as shown on Figure 1.1. 1.1.4 An application for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study Brief was made to Environmental Protection Department (EPD) and has been registered under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) under the EIA Study Brief No. ESS- 111/2004. An EIA Study for the Project has been undertaken as part of the Feasibility Study, in accordance with the EIA Study Brief and the Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM). 1.2 Objective and Scope of the EIA Study 1.2.1 In accordance with the EIA Study Brief No. ESB-111/2004, the main objective of the EIA study is to provide information on the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts arising from the construction and operation of the developments proposed under the Project (hereinafter referred to as “the proposed developments”) and related activities taking place concurrently, and to contribute to decisions on the overall environmental acceptability of the Project, after the implementation of environmental mitigation measures. 1.2.2 The scope of this EIA study covers all developments proposed under the Project and any development proposals to be recommended in the course of the EIA study, and any other works associated with the proposed developments. Mauns ell 1-1 Further Development of Tseung Kwan O EIA Report 1.3 Consideration of Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance 1.3.1 The Project is an integrated planning and engineering feasibility study of an urban development project with a study area covering more than 20 ha or involving a total population of more than 100,000. Under the EIAO, this Project is classified as a Schedule 3 Designated Project (DP) under Item 1 of Schedule 3 “Major Designated Projects requiring Environmental Impact Assessment Reports”. A detailed environmental impact assessment for approval by the Director of Environmental Protection (DEP) is required. 1.3.2 The Project also includes various Schedule 2 DPs that, under the EIAO, require Environmental Permits (EPs) to be granted by the DEP before they may be either constructed or operated. Table 1.1 summaries the Schedule 2 DPs under this Project.

As part of the components of SEKD, the status of Road T2 alignment is therefore uncertain. Alteration of Road T2 alignment may have a knock-on effect the WCR alignment and its associated road network, in particularly the connection between WCR and Road T2. Mauns ell 1-3 Further Development of Tseung Kwan O EIA Report 1.6.3 According to Clause 3.3.2 of the EIA Study Brief, there is a requirement of this EIA Report to consider alternatives to the proposed option in light of the SEKD Comprehensive Planning and Engineering Review. Nevertheless, considering the time gap between the current study and the SEKD Comprehensive Planning and Engineering Review as well as the study programme of this Project, it is not feasible to consider alternatives with respective to the various options proposed under the review study at this stage.

  • Legislative Council Brief -- Unusual Ground Settlement in Tseung Kwan O
    Ref. L/M(3) in WB(CR) 38/01/15(00) LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF UNUSUAL GROUND SETTLEMENT IN TSEUNG KWAN O INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 21 November 2000, the Council noted the investigation findings on the unusual ground settlement in Tseung Kwan O (TKO). BACKGROUND 2. Unusual ground settlement in the TKO reclamation was first reported in early 1999. A detailed investigation of the causes of the unusual settlement and its effect on existing buildings and other facilities has now been completed. 3. The extent of area affected by the unusual settlement, comprising mainly Tiu Keng Leng, TKO town centre, TKO Area 86 and the TKO Industrial Estate (TKOIE), is shown in Figure 1 at Annex A. The locations of existing residential buildings (in three zones) at the affected town centre are shown in Figure 2 at Annex B. MAGNITUDE OF SETTLEMENT AND LATEST STATUS 4. The magnitude of settlement varies in different areas. At Tiu Keng Leng and the part of town centre to the north of Tong Ming Street, the settlement was very small being in the range of only 70 to 80 mm measured since early 1999. Further south of the town centre between Tong Ming Street and Tong Tak Street, this settlement measured since early 1999 ranged from 150 to 270 mm. In other areas of TKO reclamation, including Area 86 and TKOIE, the settlement ranged from 50 to about 800 mm. 1 5. In almost all the areas, the highest rate of settlement (approximately 40 mm per month at the town centre and up to 160 mm per month for part of other areas) was recorded in the first six to nine months of 1999.

Overview of the Hong Kong Economy Brief History Hong Kong became a major manufacturing centre in the late 1940s. Initially dominated by textiles and clothing, its manufacturing focus switched to high technology goods during the 1970s. In the late 1970s, China began opening its economy to the outside world and the lower labour costs resulted in Hong Kong manufacturing industries being relocated to the Mainland and to other low-cost locations, coinciding with the rise in importance of Hong Kong as a global financial hub. The Sino-British Joint Declaration signed in 1984 agreed that Hong Kong would revert to Chinese rule on 1 July 1997.
