Hong Kong will delay the start of a controversial land reclamation project off Lantau Island by two to three years, the city’s finance chief has revealed, as he assured that authorities will not give up on the billion-dollar project.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po on Friday said that the reclamation of Kau Yi Chau under the Lantau Tomorrow Vision project would serve as an important source of land supply, with the area’s strategic location connecting the west of Hong Kong Island to the planned logistics hub in Hung Shui Kiu in the New Territories.
