1 REPORT OF STAGE 1 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION : COMMUNITY’S VISION FOR KAI TAK Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background 1.2 Stage 1 Public Participation: Community’s Vision For Kai Tak On 25.6.2002, the Chief Executive in Council approved the Kai Tak (North) and (South) Outline Zoning Plans in providing the statutory planning framework to proceed The Stage 1 Public Participation was formally launched with the implementation of the South East Kowloon on 17.9.2004 after the presentation to the Town Development. On 9.1.2004, the Court of Final Appeal Planning Board. The main purpose of the Stage 1 handed down its judgment on Town Planning Board’s Public Participation is to engage the community in the appeal against the High Court’s ruling in respect of the beginning of the study process to help building the draft Wan Chai North Outline Zoning Plan clarifying community vision(s) for this major waterfront site in legal principles behind the Protection of the Harbour Victoria Harbour. This would facilitate the preparation of Ordinance, that the “presumption against reclamation” development concepts for the site for further discussion in the Harbour Area can only be rebutted by meeting in the community.

Our Responses

The Stage 1 Public Participation has revealed that the community is in general inspired to seek further improvement to the planning framework for Kai Tak. The community’s vision for Kai Tak is generally consistent with the development theme proposed in the current Kai Tak Outline Zoning Plans, except the need to fully address the ruling of Court of Final Appeal on harbour reclamation. The vision statement proposed in the Public Consultation Digest, i.e. “to create a vibrant and elegant city life through the provision of high quality development in this unique harbourfront site”, is also well received. It will be fine-tuned, where necessary, to reflect the community’s aspiration. The vision elements will be translated to planning principles and development themes in the process of preparing the Outline Concept Plan for Kai Tak.

2.4 Key Issues

The following summarises the key issues that the commenters have expressed concerns on:

Reclamation

There is general consensus not to pursue further reclamation in the Harbour Area. Some local residents stress not to reclaim further in the Kowloon Bay area. However, some commenters have no objection to small- scale reclamation for the general enhancement of the waterfront area, e.g. provision of public promenade and conversion of elevated highway structures into tunnels; providing essential facilities, e.g. public pier; and addressing environmental problem, e.g. the water quality problems at Kai Tak Approach Channel.

Our Responses

In accordance with the principle of presumption against Kai Tak Approach Channel reclamation enshrined in the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance, the Study has adopted a “no reclamation” The environmental problem at the Kai Tak Approach development scenario as a starting point. Any Channel is a major concern to the community. Some development proposals that would involve reclamation commenters consider the shape of the runway and the in the Harbour Area are required to fulfil the “overriding extensive water bodies at the channel are unique design public need” test as laid down by the Court of Final features that they should be retained and the incumbent Appeal. environmental problems to be fully tackled.

Interface with Other Studies

Some commenters opine that the re-planning of Kai Tak should be considered in the strategic planning context, including the on-going Hong Kong 2030 Study, which would formulate a broad strategic framework for the planning of Hong Kong over the next 25 to 30 years. It may be premature to commit development projects in Kai Tak without giving due regard to the strategic planning framework, especially on the territorial population and housing demand aspects. Moreover, the various strategic initiatives investigated under the Hong Kong 2030 Study and the Sustainable Development Study should be taken into account in the Study.

Some commenters also point out that the implications of other studies, e.g. Study on Building Height Restrictions for Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong Business Areas, on the Kai Tak Planning Review should be reviewed and taken into account, where appropriate.

Our Responses

Valuable comments have been received through the public consultation exercises under the HK2030 Study and Sustainable Development Study, which would serve useful input to guide the Kai Tak Planning Review. Some of the suggestions proposed by these strategic studies, e.g. premier office node, quality living space, will further be investigated in this Study. Beside, the strategic planning frameworks prepared in the past years have envisaged Kai Tak as a new urban node in this part of Kowloon, though the scope and scale of development have been fine-tuned gradually in the subsequent district planning and development studies. Though this Study is tasked to revisit the current master plan to address recent court judgment, a prudent approach would be adopted to ensure the overall sustainability of the long-term development of the Kai Tak site. The Urban Design Guidelines in Hong Kong Planning Standards & Guidelines and the various urban design initiatives to incorporate building height restrictions in the waterfront development would be taken into account in preparing the Outline Concept Plan.

Plan to assess the suitability to plan for a new office centre in this part of Kowloon. Our Responses

The Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines have set out the development intensity for different types of housing development. In general, lower development intensity is envisaged for New Development Areas. The merits in lowering the development intensity to improve the built environment have been highlighted in the Hong Kong 2030 Study and the Final Report of Team Clean. The Further Urban Design Study for Planning and Development of South East Kowloon has also proposed to lower the development intensity in Kai Tak to achieve overall improvement to the townscape.

Our Responses

A wide range of proposals, in the form of ideas, specific suggestions as well as concept plans have been received. Many of these proposals are inspirational to help broaden the thinking spectrum for possible developments in Kai Tak. Most of the ideas and proposals, e.g. aviation development centre, museum, hotel, housing, office, sport venues etc. would be investigated further in the plan preparation stage that an appropriate planning framework could be formulated to allow the flexibility to pursue these possible projects in the implementation stage. Some of the proposed use can be incorporated into “G/IC” or other related zoning in the development plan. The suggested development concepts/proposals will be further investigated taking into account their feasibility and suitability with the development visions/ themes in preparing the Outline Concept Plan for Stage 2 Public Participation.

3. Next Steps

The Stage 1 Public Participation programme for the Kai Tak Planning Review ended in late November 2004. The public engagement activities have raised the general awareness of the key development issues of Kai Tak, enabled the community to put forward their development visions, and more importantly developed a sound basis for a continued dialogue with the general public and stakeholder groups about planning and development of Kai Tak. The findings gathered under the Stage 1 Public Participation programme will serve an important input to the subsequent stage of the Study.

The Kai Tak Forum initiated by the HEC Sub-committee on SEKD Review has provided the opportunity to discuss with the community the comments and proposals received in the Stage 1 Public Participation and the responses from the Consultants and Government bureaux/departments. It has also gathered further feedbacks from the community on the development theme and landuse components in the preparation of the Outline Concept Plan.

The next phase of the Planning Review is to formulate different Outline Concept Plans for Kai Tak, taking into account the public comments and proposals received and relevant technical consideration. The Outline Concept Plans will be consolidated and presented to the public in the Stage 2 Public Participation programme, which is scheduled to take place in November, 2005.
