Government to build 3,000 public housing flats on Taipa
The Government is to build about 3,000 public housing flats on Taipa, the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lau Si Io, announced today.
The site will be on a piece of land near the approach of the Friendship Bridge, which covers a gross land area of some 150,000 square feet.
The construction, to be put out to tender later this year, would provide up to 3,000 flats, provided that the apartments are designed with two bedrooms and one living room.
Meanwhile, a working group chaired by Mr Lau would submit an initial report to the Chief Executive next week, reviewing all sites suitable for public housing and number of flats to be built, Mr Lau said.
Mr Lau was in Taipa and Coloane this afternoon to visit old districts and public facilities on the two islands, where he also met residents and listened to their opinion on urban planning for the neighborhood.
He said the Government had plans to turn the old districts of Taipa into pedestrian-only zones and improve the transport network on the two islands.
