Controversial plan to rezone Central harbourfront land for PLA dock gets green light

Town Planning Board unanimously approves proposal which means People's Liberation Army will decide when public can access prime 0.3 hectare site

The Town Planning Board gave the green light to the government to rezone a prime piece of Central harbourfront land for military use on Friday morning.

The unanimous decision to rezone the 0.3 hectare strip of land from ツ"open spaceツ" to ツ"military useツ" was taken after a 16-day public hearing and two days of deliberation by board members. The board's decision must now secure approval from the Executive Council.

The People's Liberation Army plans to construct a military berth on the site.

The proposal to rezone the site has attracted criticism since the Planning Department made its application in February last year.

Many members of the public, activists, lawmakers and the Society for Protection of the Harbour said they did not object to the provision of the berth – required under a 1994 Sino-British deal – but argued an open-space zoning would be enough to enable the military to use the site.

The government says the PLA has agreed to allow public access to the site when it is not being used for military purposes, but no details of how such an arrangement would work have been established.

The PLA's reported pledge to offer access to the site was not made publicly.

The society had earlier indicated that it would launch a judicial review if the rezoning was approved.

Permanent Secretary for Development Thomas Chow Tat-ming, chairman of the board, today said the government was not worried about further legal challenges as the board had complied with all planning procedures.

ツ"The decision was mainly based on the planning factors. The board has given ample consideration to public views,ツ" Chow said.

ツ"The government will discuss with the PLA the operation details of the site. There was no disagreement among board members. It was an unanimous decision,ツ" he said.

According to the 1994 Sino-British agreement, the Hong Kong government ツ"will leave free 150 metres of the eventual permanent waterfront in the plans for the Central and Wan Chai reclamation ツ… for the construction of a military dock after 1997ツ".
