2.1
The Kwu
Tung North (KTN) and Fanling North (FLN) New
Development Areas (NDAs) are one of the important sources of land and housing
supply in the medium and long term. The development of the KTN and FLN NDAs
will be implemented in phase for full completion by 2031. The Phase 1 of the
NDAs development, comprising the Advance Works and First Stage Works, is
targeted to be implemented from the second half of 2019 progressively. The
Advance and First Stage Works would include site formation, engineering
infrastructure works (including roads, drainage, sewerage, waterworks,
landscaping works, pumping stations, and fresh water and flushing water service
reservoirs), soil remediation, reprovisioning of North District Temporary
Wholesale Market, development of a nature park at Long Valley and
implementation of environmental mitigation measures.
2.2
The scope of works under the Advance
and First Stage Works comprises the following:
a)
The Advance Works (PWP item No.
7747CL-2) consist of:
i)
site formation of land (including
soil remediation) in KTN and FLN NDAs for housing, community facilities and
engineering infrastructure;
ii)
construction of roads including the
eastern section of Fanling Bypass (FLBP(E))
connecting the FLN NDA to Fanling Highway and other
roads with footpaths and cycle tracks, and associated junction/ road
improvements;
iii)
engineering infrastructure works
including drainage. Sewerage (including two sewage
pumping stations), waterworks (including a fresh water service reservoir and a
flushing water service reservoir in the KTN NDA), landscape works and slopeworks;
iv)
part expansion and upgrading of Shek
Wu Hui Sewage Treatment Works (SWHSTW);
v)
reprovisioning works; and
vi)
implementation of environmental
mitigation measures and environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) programme for the works mentioned in (i)
to (v) above.
b)
The First Stage Works (PWP item No.
7759CL) consist of:
i)
development of a nature park at Long
Valley including provision of a visitor centre and a
footbridge spanning across Sheung Yue River for connection between these two
facilities;
ii)
reprovisioning of two egretry sites in the FLN NDA and enhancement works to an
existing egretry site in the KTN NDA;
iii)
site formation of land for a village
resite area and a district
police station in the KTN NDA;
iv)
engineering infrastructure works
including roads, drainage, sewerage, waterbirds, and landscape works; and
v)
implementation of environmental
mitigation measures and environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) programme for the works mentioned in (i)
to (iv) above.
2.3
The Project which covers KTN and FLN
NDAs is a designated project (DP) under Schedule 3 of the Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) Ordinance (Cap. 499). In October 2013, the EIA Report
(AEIAR-175/2013) for the Project was approved by the Director of Environmental
Protection pursuant to the EIA Ordinance. The relevant EPs under the Project
and the respective Work Contracts are summarised
in Tables 2.1a
and
