Project Profile

A study is carried out by the Hong Kong Government in 1986 to explore the landuse-transport
infrastructure of Tsuen Wan New Town. Following the endorsement of Metroplan by the
Executive Council in September 1991, the Planning Department conducted planning studies in
1992 to formulate a Development Statement for Tsuen Wan New Town with a view to implement
the Metroplan concepts at the district level. The Territory Development Department then
commissioned Maunsell Consultants Asia Lt. (MCAL) on 20 June 1995 to undertake the “Tsuen
Wan Bay Further Reclamation, Area 35 – Planning, Environmental and Engineering
Investigations” study. As a result of the proposed reclamation, existing marine facilities including
the Tsuen Wan Public Cargo Working Area and Tsuen Wan dangerous goods Anchorage
(TWDGA) will have to be relocated to allow Tsuen Wan Bay Further Reclamation (TWBFR) to
proceed. A commission is then done by the Marine Department (MD) separating site search
studies for relocating the TWDGA. In early 1996, the site search study was completed with an
Initial Environmental Impact Assessment (IEIA).
