development of a new government complex, where a new Sports Centre will be provided
for replacing the Cheung Sha Wan Sports Centre.

Following the recently completed District Study for Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok, the

of new planning tools including transfer of plot ratio and interchangeability in domestic and
non-domestic plot ratio in suitable redevelopment projects.
