In response to the development of the Northeast New Territories, the Chi Kee Wood Factory on Ma Tso Lung Road, Kwu Tung, Sheung Shui, with a history of more than 70 years, has also been included in the development area. The land resumption deadline expired on Tuesday (13th).
After attending the event today (15th), the Secretary for Development, Ning Hanhao, told the media that the authorities would pay more than 14 million yuan to the wood factory according to the compensation mechanism, and called on the operators to cooperate with the government to move out as soon as possible.
When asked if there would be another grace period for the wood factory, Ning Hanhao responded that the authorities had given them several deadlines, saying that if new deadlines continue to be given, the deadlines will become meaningless, stating that "there will come a day when the deadlines are the real deadlines. Okay.” The latest deadline has expired a few days earlier, and the Lands Department will arrange for the site to be cleared.

Ning Hanhao: I have been notified a few years ago that I want to move out
The Secretary for Development, Ning Hon Ho, said that the location of Chi Kee Wood Factory will be the first stage of the Kwu Tung North New Development Area. Private and public housing will be completed in 2023/24 and 2026/27 respectively. Carry out relevant infrastructure support.
The authorities had already notified the wood factory a few years ago that they would move out, and they would make compensation of more than 14 million yuan according to the mechanism.
Ning Hanhao went on to point out that he understands that individual operators are eager to find a place to continue their business. The government has always said that if the operator is compensated, the land can be found again, but it needs assistance in planning and land administration, and the authorities are willing to assist.
However, if the operator said on the one hand that he did not want to leave, and on the other hand said that he wanted to continue the operation, it would be difficult for the authorities to follow up.

Ning Hanhao: There must be a deadline that is the real deadline
When asked if a grace period would be given, she responded that the deadline had been given several times and given sufficient notice, adding that "if every time there is a deadline, and then another deadline is requested, the deadline becomes no more. It means...there will be a day, the deadline is the real deadline." She said that the latest deadline had expired a few days earlier, and the Lands Department would arrange for the demolition of the site.
As for the issue of wood processing, Ning Hanhao said that he has communicated with the Environmental Protection Agency. The Lands Department and the Environmental Protection Department will send the wood to Y·PARK in batches. Fill area processing.

Ning Hanhao also mentioned the earlier industrial accident at the Anderson Road Housing Society site. He pointed out that the investigation is ongoing and the incident has yet to be revealed. The sharing of experience reminds the construction industry what to pay attention to in different processes; another is to rely on technology to monitor site safety in real time, and it is hoped that these smart safety systems will be fully adopted in public works projects of a certain scale early next year.
