Approved Kai Tak Outline Zoning Plan amended
********************************************

     The Town Planning Board today (August 26) announced amendments to the approved Kai Tak Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments are mainly covered in the Kai Tak City Centre, the South Apron area and the Runway area. Proposed amendments in the Kai Tak City Centre arise from the in-situ preservation of the Lung Tsun Stone Bridge remnants, while those in the South Apron and Runway areas are for relocation of roads to enhance public accessibility to the waterfront.

     The draft Kai Tak OZP No. S/K22/3, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Kowloon District Planning Office, and the Kowloon City, Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin District Offices.

     Any person may make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before October 26, 2011.  Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.

     Copies of the draft OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the plan can be viewed on the Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
