The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Chai Wan Outline Zoning Plan (OZP). 
 
     "The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide development and redevelopment in the Chai Wan area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (May 14).
 
     The planning scheme area, covering about 614 hectares, is located in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island and is generally bounded by Heng Fa Chuen to the north, Tai Tam Country Park to the west, Shek O Country Park to the south and the waterfront to the east.
 
     Chai Wan is predominately a residential area and also one of the major industrial areas on Hong Kong Island, with the provision of government, institution or community facilities and public open space.
 
     The approved OZP has incorporated amendments made to the draft Chai Wan OZP No. S/H20/24, which mainly rezoned a site at the junction of Sun Yip Street and Siu Sai Wan Road from "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") to "G/IC(4)", and rezoned a site at Cheung Man Road from "Green Belt" and an area shown as "Road" to "Residential (Group A)".
 
     Other zonings shown on the OZP include "Comprehensive Development Area", "Industrial", "Open Space", "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Business", "OU" annotated "Cargo Handling Area", "OU" annotated "Cemetery", "OU" annotated "Columbarium", "OU" annotated "Mass Transit Railway Comprehensive Development Area", "OU" annotated "Refuse Transfer Station", "OU" annotated "Oil Depot", "OU" annotated "Petrol Filling Station", "OU" annotated "Public Filling Barging Point", "Coastal Protection Area" and "Country Park".
 
     The approved Chai Wan OZP No. S/H20/25 is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, the Hong Kong District Planning Office and the Eastern District Office.
 
     Copies of the approved 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 at the Town Planning Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
