Innovation and Technology Park
at the Lok Ma Chau Loop

In June 2009, the Planning and Engineering Study on Development of LMCL
(the LMCL Study) was commissioned to formulate a planning and development
framework for the implementation of the LMCL development. According to the
LMCL Study, development within the LMCL is subject to a maximum total GFA of
2
1.2 million m , which included floor area for three main uses, i.e. higher education,
high-tech research and development/cultural and creative industries uses as well
as other supporting uses and infrastructure. To support the LMCL development,
supporting external and internal road links as well as GIC facilities were also
proposed.

The Board was briefed on the refined Recommended Outline Development Plan
(RODP) for the LMCL under the LMCL Study on 1 November 2013.

Taken into account the recommendations of the LMCL Study and the policy direction
of 2017 Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Government of Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region and the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government,
an OZP was prepared to provide the statutory land use framework for the LMCL. On
9 June 2017, the draft LMCL OZP No. S/LMCL/1 was exhibited for public inspection.

OZP. The draft OZP was approved by the CE in C on 30 January 2018 and was
renumbered as S/LMCL/2.
