Town Centre of Tseung Kwan O South

Situated at the heart of the New Town, the Town Centre of Tseung Kwan O South is emerging to create
a new and distinctive waterfront district near Tseung Kwan O and Eastern Channel with the objective of
fostering a unique district identity (Figure 9). A diminishing building height of development towards the
waterfront is advocated in order to enhance variation in the height and massing of new developments. A
mix of land uses embracing residential, retail, leisure and entertainment activities help shape the Town
Centre into a vibrant and attractive townscape.

The Town Centre of Tseung Kwan O South is featured
with ample open space to foster its identity and
provide recreation opportunities for the residents.

A north-south running ‘Central Avenue’ is a
landscaped pedestrian-retail corridor to connect
the transport focal point in Tseung Kwan O Station
with the waterfront park, enhancing the physical and
visual connectivity. Alfresco dining is found along
the waterfront promenade.

A waterfront promenade to the south of the ‘Central
Venue’ is intended for passive recreational use with a
high quality landscaping design to serve as an urban
civic space (Figure 10).

Area 137

Area 137, with a land area of about 80 ha, is planned for predominantly high-density residential
development supported by a wide range of retail, community facilities, recreational and open space for
about 50,000 residential units and accommodating
a total population of about 135 000, which will be
supported by commercial and community facilities
as well as infrastructure and is positioned as a new
waterfront residential community with a strong
sense of place and distinctive identity. A network
of linked open spaces in Area 137 connecting the
waterfront and other green networks in Tseung
Kwan O such as Clear Water Bay Country Park at
the backdrop will be provided (Figure 11). Figure 11: Area 137 for Future Development
