Planning Highlights

All four core industries have potential for green and smart production, promote innovation, drive economic development and advancement towards carbon neutrality and create diverse job opportunities. Proposed modern park-type development to foster synergies among the industries and create clustering effect; large land area supporting low-to-medium density park development which is conducive to raising operational efficiency and accommodating large-scale facilities; provide supporting facilities and high-quality environment for industry development, as distinct from the development of traditional industrial areas.

Green / New Energy In line with the Government's policy direction of promoting development of new energy to spearhead the green transformation of industries, it is proposed to reserve land for the development of green / new energy. Possible uses include storage and production facilities of green / new energy (such as biodiesel, green methanol, green ammonia, and liquefied hydrogen). Land is also earmarked as strategic reserve for meeting the land requirement arising from future development of new energy and related technologies in Hong Kong.

Advanced ConstructionTo strengthen Hong Kong's leading regional position in the adoption of advanced construction technologies, it is proposed to reserve land for developing an advanced construction park to foster the development of local advanced construction, including research and development, testing, certification, production and storage, such as related facilities for Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) and Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP). Land is also earmarked as strategic reserve for meeting the land requirement of future development needs of the construction industry.

Circular EconomyTo achieve Government's goal as set out in the "Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035", it is proposed to reserve land for circular economy uses. Possible uses include facilities related to recycling and yard waste recycling and treatment. Through promoting upcycling and setting up local production lines to commercialise outputs into marketable products, the industry chain of the recycling industry could be enhanced, advancing the development of local green and low-carbon circular economy towards higher value-added outputs.

Modern Logistics / River Trade Terminal (RTT) It is proposed to retain part of the RTT for modern logistics / RTT uses for continual river trade and its potential future growth, while giving planning flexibility in allowing the land to be used for other modern logistic uses; equip Hong Kong to cope with the ever-changing development of the shipping and logistic industries, consolidating its position as an international maritime centre and international logistics hub; land is also reserved for relocation of the existing Tuen Mun Public Cargo Working Area located in Tuen Mun Area 16.

Enhance the environment and facilities of LKT / TMW as well as uplift the industry park and the adjacent area for the enjoyment of local residents and working population -

Provision of Mixed FacilitiesIncluding public transport interchange, pedestrian walkway and cycling tracks, communal open space / amenity areas, and other ancillary facilities (such as multifunctional spaces) to serve the nearby working population, creating a quality and convenient community environment.

Enhancing Environmental CapacityPreserve the natural beach and the water bodies in front of the LKT Village and would not affect the existing ecologically important area in LKT. To enhance the biodiversity in the area, two green channels are proposed along the northern and eastern coasts of the LKT reclamation area to preserve most of the existing natural shorelines. At the same time, we would introduce water-friendly design and eco-shorelines, and provide amenity and green landscape, creating a pleasant and diverse communal space.

Urban Rural IntegrationEmphasis on the integration of the industry park with the rural setting by utilising the knoll as a natural barrier and adopting relatively low-rise building design to minimise the visual impact of the new development on the existing village. The two proposed coastal green channels would uplift the overall environment and green corridors would be formed for retaining the visual openness from the LKT Village, the Chinese White Dolphin Lookout and the Cenotaph. Existing historic / cultural resources at LKT area would not be affected. Local residents would benefit from the proposed new community facilities and open spaces as well as diversified employment opportunities.

Smart and Green InfrastructurePromote smart, green and resilient infrastructure, including design of seawall and land formation level, implementation of blue-green drainage systems and exploring the application of smart construction technologies, with a view to enhancing resilience against climate change and extreme weather, increasing productivity and enhancing cost effectiveness of the project.
