The Lands Department today (June 11) posted notices of land resumption and creation of rights of temporary occupation of land and easements and other permanent rights in accordance with section 14 and section 16 of the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance (Chapter 370) for the construction of a lift and pedestrian walkway system between Lai King Hill Road and Lai Cho Road, Kwai Chung.

     A portion of private land with an area of about 560 square metres will be resumed by the Government. The private land will revert to the Government upon expiry of a period of three months from the date of affixing the notices (i.e. September 12, 2026). Another portion of that private land will be temporarily occupied from September 12, 2026 until June 30, 2030. After the temporary occupation period ends, an easement and other permanent rights will be created over a portion of the affected land, and the remainder of the land will be returned to the relevant land owner.

     The Government will closely liaise with the relevant land owner and affected parties, and properly handle their compensation matters.

     The aforementioned road works aim to improve the accessibility of residential areas, community facilities and transport facilities between the uphill areas and Lai King MTR Station.
