limit (25,939, +50.09%) and there is no strong justification for the EAC to recommend the population of the revised K12 to exceed the upper permissible limit. The transfer of the excessive population (around 4,300) of the revised K12 to the nearby DCCA (i.e. K10) is also impracticable since the latter’s population is already very close to the upper permissible limit(20,550, +18.91%) and such transfer would cause the population of K10 (around 24,800, +43.50%) to greatly exceed the upper permissible limit. 13 K11 – 3 The representations: See item 12. Tsuen (a) propose that Ma Wan Wan itself should form a Rural single constituency West since its population has exceeded 16,000; K12 – (b) consider that the part Tsuen of Tsing Lung Tau in Wan K11 can be transferred Rural to K12; and East (c) suggest that the population of K12 be allowed to exceed the upper permissible limit after incorporating the part of Tsing Lung Tau.

The reasons given are: (i) the community integrity of Hong Kong Garden would be affected since the demarcation proposal will separate it to fall on two DCCAs (i.e. in K11 and K12); (ii) Ma Wan and Tsing Lung Tau belong to two different K. Tsuen Wan - 99 - K. Tsuen Wan

communities without any connection between their local resident organisations. Also, there is no direct transport link between these two areas; and (iii) one representation adds that a residential development should be wholly included in the same DCCA. The split of a residential development to fall on two DCCAs will confuse the residents. 14 K11 – 1 The representation objects The representation is not accepted Tsuen to the demarcation because retaining Block 1 to 6 of Wan proposals for K11 and Hong Kong Garden in K11 will Rural K12. It considers that the cause the population of K11 to West proposed transfer of Block exceed the upper permissible limit 1 to 6 of Hong Kong (23,097, +33.65%).
