The Town Planning Board today (October 27) announced amendments to the draft Tuen Mun Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve rezoning two areas at Tuen Mun Areas 23 and 53 from "Green Belt" ("GB") to "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") and a small strip of land at Area 23 from "G/IC" to "GB".
Opportunity is also taken to update the Notes for "Industrial" zone of the OZP in accordance with the refined Revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans.
