Looking Ahead
Through comprehensive planning and development, the HSK/HT NDA will transform the vast extent of
brownfield sites into a new generation new town of Hong Kong with enhanced land use efficiency and
environmental quality. To achieve early delivery of land to meet the housing needs and ensure timely
provision of a comprehensive range of commercial, retail, open space and GIC facilities in tandem with
the population build-up, proper phasing and packaging of works for the HSK/HT NDA development have
been formulated. With the implementation of the planned projects for commercial, housing, GIC facilities,
infrastructures and other developments, it is envisaged that a balance between development needs
and other planning considerations will be maintained to ensure achieving a liveable and sustainable
environment for those who live and work in HSK/HT NDA.
The HSK/HT NDA will bring more job opportunities and economic activities to enrich the civic, leisure and
community facilities in the NMNT; and contribute to making a more bustling region. Its development will
not only benefit the future residents in the NDA, but also the residents in the whole region.
As set out in the Northern Metropolis Action Agenda promulgated in 2023, Lau Fau Shan, Tsim Bei Tsui
and Pak Nai areas (collectively referred to as LFS) will be an extension of the HSK/HT NDA. A Broad Land
Use Concept Plan for the LFS area covering the northern part of the NDA has been published in 2024. The
LFS area is planned taking into account two development themes, i.e. developing digital technology hub
and promoting eco-tourism. A RODP for the area is being formulated in the Investigation Study, which
will serve as the basis for preparation/revision of the statutory OZP(s).
