Second, we may naturally deduce
that the feasibility study that the
CEDD undertook for the site could
take place earlier, i.e. simultaneously
with the rezoning process rather
than after the rezoning process. As
one may expect, the key hurdle in
developing these sites on a slope
would be CEDD’s assessment on
the technical feasibility of the site
from an engineering perspective.
If the feasibility study could take
place earlier, the whole development
timeline could have shifted earlier.

Similarly, the site investigation
and design study should also be
considered to be shifted earlier. All
in all, we believe some procedures
could be considered to be done in
parallel so that the time of making
the land spade-ready could be
compressed.

At present, the site has also applied for height relaxation and the application is pending for District Council discussion on this again.
According to the latest Planning Brief prepared by the Housing Authority, expected foundation commencement is scheduled in
2022/23 and 3,208 public housing units are expected to be built in 2026/27 and 2027/28 (2,344 units on site A and 864 units on site B).
