Development of Plover Cove New Town

The Plover Cove Reservoir has an area of about 1200 hectares. Based on a plot ratio of 2, it is estimated that the reclaimed land can provide 300,000 flats of 650 sq. ft., plus 65 million sq. ft. for non-domestic use. The total land value can be up to $775 billion, assuming average land price at $3,000 per sq. ft. This amount would be sufficient to build all the necessary rails, highways, cross-sea tunnel, as well as site formation works and infrastructure construction.

Unexpectedly, this proposal has led to a series of debate on water supply strategy in Hong Kong. Is transformation of the Plover Cove Reservoir fatal to water supply in HK? Speaker will go through the question from different angles in this industrial spotlight.
