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.
