He (Mr John Chai) said Tseung Kwan O new town was developed at a time where there was very strong demand for housing, adding that the northern part of the new town is densely built with closely-spaced high-rise buildings.

"We have plans for developing Tseung Kwan O south. Apart from reducing development density, we have also planned that developments there adopt a stepped height building profile to the waterfront to make the whole area appear less compact.

"On transport infrastructure, we are going to build a link over Junk Bay. This will be a featured bridge for Tseung Kwan O new town, in the form of a cable-supported structure.

"The road will extend from the current MTR station development, the Dream City, span across the bay, and then connect to the proposed Tseung Kwan O-Lam Tin Tunnel, which will link the East Kowloon region, the proposed Central Kowloon Route and the rest of the city. This will be one of our major projects in the next few years."

Mr Chai said the project is in the planning stage, adding that affected residents will be fully consulted to garner their support.
