• Lung Kwu Tan reclamation talked up

The chairman of the government's Task Force on Land Supply, Stanley Wong, says near-shore reclamation at Lung Kwu Tan could provide an opportunity to reorganise the whole of Tuen Mun West.

The Task Force met for the eleventh time on Tuesday, and discussed the idea of developing the 65-hectare River Trade Terminal in Tuen Mun.

There are significant development limitations in the area, including height restrictions because of the Chek Lap Kok airport, overloaded transport facilities, as well as environmental challenges.

But Wong said the area could be developed for housing if the reclamation goes ahead. Wong said the terminal site could potentially be used to build 22,000 flats, housing 60,000 people.
