Reconstruction of seawall near To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter
*********************************************************

     The Government intends to reconstruct about 15 metres of an existing seawall near To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter to facilitate construction of a drainage outfall which forms part of the drainage system at the north apron area of the former Kai Tak Airport.

     About 225 square metres of foreshore and seabed will be utilised as a temporary works site.

     The works are scheduled to commence in mid-2013 and to be completed by late 2016.

     The extent of the area affected is described in a notice published in the Government Gazette today (August 10).

     The notice and its related plan are posted on notice boards near the site.

     The plan can be seen and purchased on order at the Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands Department, 23/F, North Point Government Offices, 333 Java Road, North Point. It can also be seen at the Kowloon City District Office, Kwun Tong District Office and Wong Tai Sin District Office, and on the Lands Department's website (www.landsd.gov.hk) under Government Notices.

     Any person who considers that he 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, on or before October 10, 2012.
