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 2.1.b.
