"Single Site Multiple Uses” Development Model

The Government will follow the “Single Site Multiple Uses” development model to integrate
and provide more government, institution or community (GIC) facilities to meet the demand
for public services and better utilise valuable land resources. Two pieces of government
land on Shan Mei Street, Fo Tan and Tsuen Nam Road, Tai Wai have been identified for
joint-user development to provide various GIC facilities including medical and social welfare
facilities. The proposed joint-user complex on Tsuen Nam Road will also provide for public
housing development.

Trunk Road T4 Project

The Government will take forward the Trunk Road T4 Project in Sha Tin to provide a more
direct link connecting West Kowloon and Tsuen Wan with Ma On Shan and Sai Kung, and
to serve as a bypass to Tai Po Road (Sha Tin section) and other district distributor roads to
improve the traffic conditions.

Shatin Bypass

The Government is carrying out the "Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads
beyond 2030" (RMR Studies). As recommended in the RMR Studies, the Government
will take forward a major road project known as “Shatin Bypass” to connect Tai Po and
Kowloon West. It will provide a faster route for residents of the New Territories East to the
urban areas, and improve the transport network for north-south connectivity as well as
relieve traffic pressure on Tolo Highway.

Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works

The existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works (Figure 18) occupies an area of about 28 ha in the New
Town. It is proposed to be relocated to a cavern to be excavated at Nui Po Shan of A Kung Kok, so that
the existing site could be released
for other beneficial uses. The cavern
could also serve as a barrier against
potential nuisances like odour and
noise, bringing improvements to the
local environment. The investigation,
design and construction work of the
relocation project is ongoing with a
view to optimising the benefits of the
project by studying the possibility
of introducing relevant advanced
technologies and making reference to
overseas experiences.
