The government currently does not have a definitive timeline to overhaul the Inner Harbour district in alignment with the Master Urban Plan, director of Land and Urban Construction Lai Weng Leong said following a recent parliamentary committee meeting.
Pursuant to the Master Urban Plan, the Inner Harbour should be transformed into a commercial and leisure promenade that integrates vigorous disaster control and prevention measures.
In response to press questions, Lai said that more time is needed to implement the Master Urban Plan within the district. Further details are being prepared to facilitate this, while the government works on other districts concurrently.
Regarding the cargo logistics capacities at the Inner Harbour, Chu Chan Wai, department head for port management at the Marine and Water Bureau (DSAMA), recapped that around half of the capacities were relocated to Ka-Ho in 2022. The remainder will not be relocated in the foreseeable future, the official shared.
Relocated capacities will not return to the Inner Harbour, as relocating the containers at the harbor will impact surrounding land traffic.
