Government posts land resumption notices for urban renewal project in Kowloon City
**********************************************************************************
The project was included in the Urban Renewal Authority's Business Plan for 2020-21, and its implementation will help improve the overall living environment of the area. The project site, with an area of about 16 473 square metres, will be redeveloped for residential use with retail/commercial facilities, ancillary parking, and loading/unloading facilities. The project will also provide a public open space of at least 400 sq m, a public vehicle park, and government, institution or community facilities.
A total of 466 property interests at the project site will be resumed by the Government. The affected interests will revert to the Government on the expiration of three months from the date of affixing the land resumption notices (i.e. April 23, 2026).
Apart from statutory compensation, eligible owners of domestic properties will also be offered an ex-gratia home purchase allowance or a supplementary allowance as appropriate. Eligible domestic tenants will be offered rehousing or an ex-gratia allowance.
If statutory claims made by the affected owners and tenants under the Lands Resumption Ordinance (Chapter 124) cannot be settled by agreement, the owners and tenants may apply to the Lands Tribunal for adjudication. Professional fees reasonably incurred by the claimants in making such claims may be reimbursed by the Government.
