Project Status

Project Programme
Project commenced in October 2022.
Targeted completion by 2033.
Proposed Redevelopment
Under a planning-led approach, the Project aims to rationalize land use for holistic planning of the area to enable more efficient land use and to bring planning gains to the local community.
The key planning objectives and proposals of the Project includes:
- Provision of a waterfront promenade of about 20m wide along the Ma Tau Kok waterfront for public enjoyment. The proposed waterfront promenade will be connecting with the adjoining planned waterfront promenade / waterfront developments at the Kai Tak Development Area (KTDA) , thus enabling a continuous waterfront at the Kowloon East area.
- Reinforce the waterfront ambience and promote vibrancy by creating an at-grade waterfront plaza and provide a 2-storey commercial belt connecting to the waterfront promenade.
- Restructuring and re-planning of existing land uses to provide building setbacks from To Kwa Wan Road to allow sufficient space to align with Government’s planned road widening works.
- Replanning of traffic and pedestrian network to create comfortable walking environment and enhance connectivity.
- Provision of about 1,000 sq.m. non-domestic GFA for Government, Institution or Community (GIC) uses to bring more planning gains to the community.
The Project may also include other facilities and uses as required or approved by the TPB.
