New Territories North New Town (NTN NT) and Lo Wu/Man Kam To (LW/MKT)
NTN NT and LW/MKT area under planning is mainly occupied by villages, agricultural land, and brownfield operations such as workshops and warehouses. Through holistic planning with urban design and provision of adequate supporting infrastructure facilities, the development potential of the area will be fully unleashed with more efficient use of abandoned agricultural land and brownfield sites that will be released for building new communities and improving the environment.
NTN NT and LW/MKT area has three boundary control points/ports, namely Lo Wu, Man Kam To and Heung Yuen Wai, with an area of about 1,500 hectares. It has the potential to develop various economic uses, and promote industrial/advanced manufacturing industry, emerging industries including food technology, advanced construction industry, modern logistics, etc. It can complement with the innovation and technology industry in San Tin Technopole, connect with the development of Luohu District in Shenzhen, and provide different types of employment opportunities for the residents of the Northern Metropolis.
Kwu Tung North/Fanling North New Development Area (KTN/FLN NDA)
Kwu Tung North/Fanling North (KTN/FLN) New Development Area (NDA) mainly provides housing supply with more than 80,000 housing units. It can also support the housing need of the adjacent San Tin Technopole. The site formation and infrastructure works for the First Phase development commenced in 2019, with population in-take of the first batch private housing development commenced since end 2022. The construction of public housing is also in full swing, and it is expected that substantial occupation could begin in 2026. The site formation and infrastructure works for the Remaining Phase development is also expected to commence in 2024, with the target to complete the works in 2031.
The Kwu Tung Station will be located in the KTN NDA, with its construction expected to commence within 2023 and for completion by 2027. Besides, a site within the KTN NDA has been reserved for the development of a Government joint-user office and a joint-user complex for relocation of certain government offices currently in central business districts with no specific location requirements to the KTN NDA, with a view to driving the development of the area and releasing the land in the central business districts.
When taking forward projects in the NDAs, we will attach importance to environmental and nature conservation to provide a green and quality living space to people in these areas. About 37 hectares of land in the core area of Long Valley in the KTN NDA will be developed into a nature park for conserving and enhancing the ecological environment and become the major green space for the NDA. Currently, the Long Valley Nature Park is making good progress and is expected to be open to public in 2024.
The Ma Tso Lung area to the north of Kwu Tung North New Development Area (KTN NDA) is proposed for inclusion into the NDA, which can serve as an intersection linking Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park and KTN NDA. Relevant study commenced in 2022, and the target is to formulate a development proposal within 2024.
