Kwu Tung North/Fanling North New
Development Area

Implementation

To achieve an 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 KTN/FLN NDA, an implementation programme with proper phasing and packaging of works
for the NDA development has been formulated. Detailed design for site formation and engineering
infrastructural works for part of the housing and supporting facilities developments included in the
Advance and First Stage Works has commenced in 2014, to enable construction to start in 2019 and
first population intake in 2023/24 the earliest. The Remaining Phase Works is tentatively scheduled
for commencement in 2024 and the development of the KTN NDA is expected to be fully completed by
2031.

Looking Ahead

In the past several decades, the Fanling/Sheung Shui areas have been developed from primarily a
rural market town to a strategic New Town with a full range of facilities. Planning of New Town will
continue to reflect the aspirations of the community in respect of physical development, environmental
concerns and sustainability. The KTN/FLN NDA will be the extensions of Fanling/Sheung Shui
New Town to form the FL/SS/KT New Town to provide a mix of housing, jobs, infrastructures and
community facilities. The new generation New Town will integrate urban and rural land use with nature,
create people-oriented communities and provide a sustainable living environment.
