     The Town Planning Board today (November 3) announced amendments to the approved Kwun Tong (South) Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings.
