(Figure 35) Satellite map location of Pik Wan Road sites, Yau Tong
Our third case is Pik Wan Road Sites
A & B in Yau Tong. The two sites are
2.5 hectares in total and are planned to
provide 3,208 public housing units. Both
sites are government vacant land with
vegetated slope.

Site A For site A, it is ascertained that the site
was rezoned for residential use at least
before 2011, although its exact date of
completing the rezoning exercise is no
longer traceable. Site B was rezoned from
Government, Institution or Community (GIC)
Site B use to residential use in 2013–2014. The
rezoning process for site B was smooth.
In January 2013, the Kwun Tong District
Council was consulted for a proposed
public housing development on this site
as a preparatory process ahead of the
rezoning process. Rezoning kicked off in
August 2013 and was later completed in
April 2014.
