Reclamation Rock Cavern Development Reuse of Ex-quarry Sites Redevelopment

Rezoning Land Land Resumption

(4)

Rezoning Land

Industrial Building Agricultural Land 4

Open Storage Area

Challenges:

• Multiple ownership, not easy to implement

• Market driven

• Require solution space for resettlement of affected residents / economic activities

(5)

Redevelopment

5

Challenges:

• Multiple ownership, difficult to resume all properties

• Progress hinges on market response

• Affect vulnerable groups most

(6)

Land Resumption

6

Challenges:

• Cause local opposition

• Affect vulnerable groups most

• Change rural areas

(7)

Reuse of Ex-quarry Sites

Cha Kwo Ling Ex-Kaoline Mine Site

茶果嶺高嶺土礦場

Shek O Quarry 石澳石礦場 Lamma Island Quarry

南丫島石礦場

Anderson Road Quarry 安達臣石礦場 Lam Tei Quarry

藍地石礦場

Challenge:

• Number of quarry sites is limited, hence land to be provided.

Technical Assessment and Public Engagement

18

Conduct broad technical assessment to select sites, and further studies to

ascertain technical feasibility and environmental acceptability

Conducting on-site monitoring to

ascertain the presence of CWDs at three potential near-shore reclamation sites

Communicate with the public at various stages of development

Public engagement, community consultation, statutory procedures
