Construction resumes on Lyric Theatre complex plagued by subsidence and flooding at West Kowloon Cultural District
- Building continues despite ongoing investigation into subsidence at the site
- Democrat Helena Wong says West Kowloon Cultural District Authority is trying to keep public in the dark
Construction has resumed on a theatre complex on reclaimed land at the multibillion-dollar West Kowloon Cultural District – despite an ongoing investigation into subsidence at the site.
The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, which manages the project, announced on Monday that “following a satisfactory review from the Buildings Department … works have now resumed outside the incident area”.
It added that regarding the subsidence “a full investigation at the affected area is still ongoing”.
The authority said in a statement that it was monitoring the site and a full account of the incident would be provided to the Legislative Council “in due course”.
An authority spokesman declined to provide more details.
“It has already been a month and the authority has still failed to provide some initial findings,” said Wong.
