Industries
At present, most of Tai Po's industry is
accommodated in the Tai Po Industrial Estate
(Figure 18) and the mixed industrial and office
buildings such as Tai Ping Industrial Park
(Figure 19) at Ting Kok Road, with the rest in
a few conventional ground floor premises and
squatter structures.
In 1974, the Government decided to establish
Hong Kong's first planned industrial estate
in Tai Po. Some 88 ha of reclaimed land in
the northeastern part of the New Town was Figure 19: Tai Ping Industrial Park
earmarked for special industries which, by
applying a relatively high level of technology, helped to broaden Hong Kong's industrial base. Such
industries cannot operate efficiently in conventional flatted factories. To date, over 70 companies
including the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited Tai Po Gas Production Plant are operating in
the Industrial Estate.
