The Land and Construction Advisory Committee held a meeting today (10th), at which they welcomed the development proposal of the Kau Yi Chau artificial island and noted that the artificial island will provide the land needed to develop a new generation of core areas, including the third core Commercial areas, and livable communities that combine housing and community leisure facilities.
Members suggested that the government should pay close attention to changes in demand for different types of land when continuing to plan and implement development projects, and explore ways to further enhance the liveability of artificial islands and their ability to cope with climate change and enhance biodiversity.
Members also believed that there was room to promote the synergy between the proposed transport network and the existing infrastructure, and indicated that necessary measures should be taken in due course to deal with the impact on the ridership of the existing infrastructure network.
