Yuen Long Nullah barrage works proposed
***************************************
The proposed works will involve construction of a barrage, pumping stations and associated electrical and mechanical facilities as well as revitalisation of a section of the existing Yuen Long Nullah. The proposed barrage would enhance the flood protection level of the Yuen Long town centre and reduce the flood risk. The proposed works are tentatively scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022 for completion in the third quarter of 2029.
The notice and its related plan are posted near the site. The plan is also available for inspection at:
* Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands Department (23/F, North Point Government Offices, 333 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong) (where copies can be purchased on order);

* Lands Department's website (www.landsd.gov.hk) under Government Notices.
