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.

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,
