Housing Authority re-enters three construction sites
****************************************************
The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) today (July 2) re-entered the construction sites of three public housing projects in accordance with the notice of re-entry previously issued to Aggressive Construction Company Limited (ACCL), as ACCL had abandoned the contracts for the respective projects. The three construction projects are:
- The underground link of Pak Tin Estate redevelopment Phase 10;
- Public Housing Development at Tuen Mun Area 29 West (about 1 000 flats); and
- Public Housing Development at Tung Chung Area 100 (about 5 200 flats).
The Housing Department is now arranging for other qualified and capable contractor(s) to finish the remaining construction works in the hope that the affected projects can be completed as soon as practicable.
The HA will continue to take various measures to expedite the completion of other public housing projects in order to reduce the impact as far as possible. On the other hand, as various Light Public Housing projects have been progressively completed and are becoming available for allocation, the composite waiting time (CWT) will decrease steadily, and the target of reducing the CWT to 4.5 years in 2026/27 remains unchanged.
