The Government proposes to construct berthing facilities and seawater outfalls at the north and west of Tsang Tsui, Tuen Mun. The extent of the area of foreshore and seabed affected is described in a notice gazetted today (September 20).
The proposed berthing facilities will allow direct transport of municipal solid waste and incinerator ash mainly by sea to and fro the Integrated Waste Management Facilities Phase 2 (I·PARK2) with a view to minimising the number of waste and container trucks passing through Lung Kwu Tan Road and other road networks. The proposed seawater outfalls and the associated pipeworks will support the cooling system of the I·PARK2. The proposed works are tentatively scheduled to commence in 2026 for completion in about four to five years.
The notice and its related plan are posted near the site. The plan is also available for inspection at:
​
* Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands Department (6/F, North Point Government Offices, 333 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong) (where copies can be purchased on order);
* Tuen Mun Home Affairs Enquiry Centre of the Tuen Mun District Office (2/F, Tuen Mun Government Offices, 1 Tuen Hi Road, Tuen Mun, New Territories); and
* Lands Department website (www.landsd.gov.hk) under Government Notices.
Any person who considers that he or she has an interest, right or easement in or over the foreshore and seabed involved may submit a written objection to the Director of Lands, 20/F, North Point Government Offices, 333 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong, within two months from the gazette date, i.e. on or before November 20. The notice of such an objection shall describe the interest, right or easement of the objector and the manner in which he or she will be allegedly affected.
