HSK NDA will provide about 61,000 new flats to accommodate an additional
population of about 176,000, and will produce about 150,000 new job opportunities,
with the first population intake expected in 2024. The NDA is of territorial
significance and it will be the main source of land supply to meet Hong Kong’s long-
term development needs. The HSK NDA Planning and Engineering Study (HSK NDA
Study) was commissioned jointly by CEDD and PlanD with a view to formulating a
planning and development framework for the implementation of the NDA. Three
stages of public engagement were conducted from 2011 to 2015 and a Revised
RODP was formulated under the HSK NDA Study. On 23 September 2016, the Board
was briefed on the Revised RODP formulated for the HSK NDA.

A new OZP was prepared to take forward the recommendations of the HSK NDA
Study. On 5 May 2017, the Board agreed that the OZP for HSK NDA was suitable for
exhibition for public inspection under Section 5 of the Ordinance. On 26 May 2017,
the draft Hung Shui Kiu and Ha Tsuen OZP No. S/HSK/1 was exhibited. A total of 117
valid representations and 338 valid comments were received. The representations
and comments were considered by the Board in January and February 2018.
