The Committee for the Construction of the World Tourism and Leisure Center of Macau presented its five-year Development Plan yesterday in a meeting with the press held at the government headquarters.
The plan analyses current estimates and suggests “high-priority projects” in five domains (transportation, environmental protection, health, urban development and urban security) for the coming five years.
These projects are: the construction of the Macau Light Rapid Transit (LRT); the construction of a new cross border access point; and the construction of a fourth connection between Macau and Taipa sides; which was also referred to by the CE earlier in the presentation of the 2016 Policy Address.
The government also proposes the extension and optimization of the solid waste incineratior plant, as well as the construction of a new landfill for solidified ashes, and the extension and optimization of the wastewater treatment station in the Areia Preta district.
Regarding healthcare, the only item considered a high priority is the construction of the long awaited Islands’ Health Care Complex.
To complete these priorities and to address urban development and security were the planning and development of new landfills, the construction of a new major water pipeline, and the installation of a monitoring system for the city, which would include security cameras.
Lei Ngan Leng, advisor to the Chief Executive and member of the newly formed committee, mentioned that the envisaged plan has been based on input from the Chief Executive (CE) and top government officials.
This proposal will be on display on a website specially created to collect public opinions for a period of 3 months.
After the public consultation period, the committee is expecting to present a revised and more detailed version of the plan during the second quarter of 2016. RM
