The project was first mentioned in the 1985 planning strategy by the Government. The Government then completed a feasibility study in 1989, followed by endorsement of the then Land Development Policy Committee on the project.
Objectives
The floor plan of the Central and Wan Chai Reclamation
The proposed reclamation extends along the waterfront from Sheung Wan
to Causeway Bay. The ostensible objectives of the project, inter
alia, include :
- to supply land for the Hong Kong Station and the extended overrun tunnel of the Airport Express;
- to provide land for Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link;
- to offer land for the upcoming Sha Tin to Central Link;
- to give land for the potential North Island Line;
- to improve the surroundings of neighbouring crowded districts by providing supplementary open space on the new reclamation; and
- to integrate the development with the existing areas.
