In 2013, the former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying announced to allocate 100 million yuan to each district council to build "key projects in the community". Among them, the Tai Wai Nullah in Sha Tin spent 80 million to build a 5-a-side football pitch, which was accused of dismantling the football pitch in the adjacent Tai Wai Amusement Park in the future. And then build "pin-type" single public housing paving.
The Shatin District Office and the Housing Department have recently submitted documents to the Shatin District Council to formally propose the redevelopment of Tai Wai Playground. At that time, a 41-storey government complex and subsidized housing will be built, providing 400 units to accommodate 1,100 people. Completion near 2030.
Proposed 41-storey complex with public housing blocks
According to the documents disclosed by the Shatin District Council, Tai Wai Playground on South Road of Tai Wai Village is a "residential (Group A) zone", which is applicable to the government's multi-use development principle. Complex and public housing projects.
The total site area is about 0.37 hectares, and a complex building with a height of about 41 storeys and a public housing block can be built. The latter can build 400 residential units, accommodating about 1,100 people, and the land area is about 15 times. At that time, the complex building in the building will include Social Security Office, Small Library, General Outpatient Clinic, Tai Wai District Office, Integrated Family Service Center, Child Care Service Center, Neighborhood Elderly Center and other units, with public parking lot, platform garden, children's playground and other supporting facilities.
The above-mentioned development plan is expected to start in 2024, and the related projects will be completed in 2030 at the earliest.
The ArchSD said it had conducted a traffic review on the potential impact of the development on the surrounding road network, and preliminary results showed that as long as appropriate road improvement measures were taken, the development would not cause unacceptable impact on the nearby road network.

Take appropriate measures to reduce the impact on neighbouring noise
The HA has also conducted a technical assessment on the environmental impact of the development plan and initially believes that the project has no unacceptable impact.
The proposed public housing development projects will comply with the noise-related criteria and legal requirements under a moderate mix of measures such as building fins, sound-absorbing windows, appropriate building orientation and floor plan.
As for air quality, there will be appropriate spacing between buildings and roads to reduce the impact of motor vehicle exhaust on residential units and comply with the requirements of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines.
The relevant planning will be discussed in the Sha Tin District Council Development, Housing and Environmental Hygiene Committee next Tuesday (17th), and further consultation with district councillors will be made.
