The Government will submit the feasibility study reports for the development at Wang Chau to the Legislative Council and make them available to the public.
In response to media enquiries, the Government noted in a statement today the study, comprising 16 reports with over 1,000 pages, contains some sensitive information such as land matters and financial information.
Disclosure of such information might affect public interest. The Government will submit the reports after processing the information.
It also said, in the study conducted in 2012, the consultant projected that within the whole Wang Chau development boundary there were approximately 14 hectares of government land, around 40 houses and about 210 temporary structures.
There was no projection of the number of households affected and the Government will conduct detailed surveys when rolling out the development.
Within Phase 1 of the development, the Lands Department found there are 3.4 hectares of government land and 3.5 hectares of private land.
The department conducted a freezing survey last October within the area affected by Phase 1 of the development, during which 180 households involving 400 people and a few business undertakings were registered.
However, since occupants of some structures refused to be registered, the figures may not reflect the total number of households and business undertakings affected.
