Tung Chung expansion scheme unveiled, raising reclamation concerns

134 hectares would be reclaimed on Lantau for long-term housing, but conservationists are worried about the environmental impact

The government wants to extend Tung Chung on Lantau Island by reclaiming 134 hectares of land east and west of the new town, as part of its quest for long-term housing land.

The scheme, which would yield up to 53,000 flats in a decade and be served by two new railway stations, was revealed yesterday as the Development Bureau launched a second-stage consultation for the project - and aroused concerns over the ecological impact brought by the scale of the reclamation.
