2.1.1.
“Wan Chai Development phase II and Central-Wan Chai
Bypass” and “Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link”
(hereafter called “the Project”) are Designed Project (DP) under the
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO). The Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) Reports for Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link (Register No. AEIAR-041/2001) and Wan Chai Development phase II
and Central-Wan Chai Bypass (Register No.: AEIAR-125/2008) have been approved
on 31 August 2001 and 11 December 2008 respectively.
2.1.2.
The key purpose of Wan Chai Development Phase II
(WDII) is to provide land at Wan Chai North and North Point for construction of
the Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link (CWB). Land formed
under the project will be developed as a world-class waterfront promenade
joining that at the new Central waterfront for public enjoyment.
2.1.3.
There is a compelling and present need for the CWB
to provide relief to the very congested east-west Connaught Road
Central/Harcourt Road / Gloucester Road Corridor (the Corridor) which is
currently operating beyond its capacity. The CWB will provide relief to the
existing congestion along the Corridor and cater for the anticipated growth of
traffic on Hong Kong Island. Without the CWB and its access roads, there will
not be sufficient capacity to serve the heavy traffic demands at both strategic
and local levels.
2.2.1.
The Project is located mainly in Wan Chai North,
Causeway Bay and North Point, and is demarcated by Gloucester Road and Victoria
Park Road to the south, Fenwick Pier Street to the west and Tong Shui Road
Interchange to the east, as shown in Figure 2.1.
2.2.2.
The study area encompasses existing developments
along the Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and North Point shorelines. Major land uses
include the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) Extension, the
Wan Chai Ferry Pier, the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area (ex-PCWA), the
Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), the Police Officers’ Club, the Causeway Bay
Typhoon Shelter (CBTS) and commercial and residential developments.
2.2.3.
The scope of the Project
comprises:
·
Land formation
for key transport infrastructure and facilities, including the Trunk Road (i.e. CWB) and the associated
slip roads for connection to the Trunk Road and for through traffic from Central to
Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. The land formed for the above transport infrastructure
will provide opportunities for the development of an attractive waterfront
promenade for the enjoyment of the public
·
Reprovisioning /
protection of the existing facilities and structures affected by the land
formation works mentioned above
·
Extension,
modification, reprovisioning or protection of existing storm water drainage
outfalls, sewerage outfalls and watermains affected by the revised land use and
land formation works mentioned above
·
Upgrading of
hinterland storm water drainage system and sewerage system, which would be
rendered insufficient by the land formation works mentioned above
·
Provision of the
ground level roads, flyovers, footbridges, necessary transport facilities and
the associated utility services
·
Construction of
the new waterfront promenade, landscape works and the associated utility
services
·
The Trunk Road
(i.e. CWB) within the study area and the associated slip roads for connection
to the Trunk Road.
2.2.4.
The project also contains various Schedule 2 DPs
that, under the EIAO, require Environmental Permits (EPs) to be granted by the
DEP before they may be either constructed or operated. Table 2.1
summarises the five individual DPs under this Project. Figure 2.1 shows the
locations of these Schedule 2 DPs.

2.3.1.
Due to the multi-contract nature of the Project,
there are a number of contracts sub-dividing the whole works area into
different work areas to be commenced. Contractors of individual contracts will
be required by the EP holder to apply Further Environmental Permits (FEP) such
that the impact monitoring stations are sub-divided accordingly to facilitate
the implementation of EM&A programme and to streamline the EM&A
reporting for individual FEP holders correspondingly.
