**********************************************
The Town Planning Board today (January 27) announced amendments to the draft Ngau Tam Mei Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments involve the rezoning of four areas within the existing Ngau Tam Mei Water Treatment Works from "Conservation Area" and "Green Belt" to "Government, Institution or Community" (GIC), and the rezoning of an area occupied by the Ngau Tam Mei Fresh Water Primary Service Reservoir from "Green Belt" to "GIC" to reflect the current uses of the sites.
The draft Ngau Tam Mei OZP No. S/YL-NTM/11, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters at North Point and Sha Tin, the Tuen Mun and Yuen Long District Planning Office, the Yuen Long District Office and the San Tin Rural Committee.
Any person affected by the amendments can submit written objections to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before February 17, 2006.
