Public Consultation
After obtaining the in-principle agreement of the TPB, three District Councils (DCs), including
the Kwun Tong DC, Wong Tai Sin DC and Kowloon City DC, and the Task Force of Kai
Tak Harbourfront Development of the Harbourfront Commission (HC) and the HC were
consulted on the Review Study in November/December 2016. Taking into account the views
received, some refinements to the land use proposals are incorporated as outlined below.
Public Housing
In response to the views and strong demand for public housing, four residential sites in Area 2
(Figure 10) with a total site area of about 4.8 hectares providing about 6 000 flats are reserved
for public housing. These sites are of sufficient size and close to the SCL Sung Wong Toi
Station, and considered suitable for public housing development. To cater for the provision of
retail and community uses (e.g. market) to serve the residents of the concerned public housing
developments, these sites are rezoned from ‘Residential (Group B)’ to ‘Residential (Group A)’
(which allowed for such uses in lower floors).
