HONG KONG - ZHUHAI - MACAO BRIDGE
––FEASIBILITY STUDY

The Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF) Island

As part of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge (HZMB), the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF) will be located on a 150-hectare artificial island (about 130 hectares for HKBCF and about 20 hectares for Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL) Southern Landfall). The HKBCF Island will provide clearance facilities for passengers and goods using the HZMB. Reclamation and infrastructure works of the HKBCF project are currently under construction. The facilities on the HKBCF Island include cargo and passenger clearing and vehicle inspection facilities, offices for law enforcement agencies (such as Immigration Department, Customs & Excise Department, etc.), roads, car parks, public transport interchange and associated civil works, traffic control and surveillance system and landscaping works, etc.

Surrounding Development Context

In addition to the planned boundary-crossing facilities, the HKBCF Island has the potential to develop other uses to optimise the utilisation of valuable land resources. As part of the regional multi-modal transport hub in North Lantau, which includes HZMB, the Hong Kong International Airport, MTR Airport Express and MTR Tung Chung Line, the HKBCF Island will benefit from the synergy effect and become a key gateway of Hong Kong. Moreover, with the completion of the HZMB and related local projects, the HKBCF Island would be located at a crossroads connecting to both the Eastern and Western Pearl River Delta (PRD) regions. There is great potential to capitalise on the locational advantage of the HKBCF Island to enhance Hong Kong’s economic position in the wider PRD region.

THE
STUDY

STUDY OBJECTIVES

In January 2015, the Civil Engineering and Development Department and the Planning Department commissioned the “Planning, Engineering and Architectural Study for Topside Development at Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Island of Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge — Feasibility Study” (the Study). The Study aims to explore the optimum utilization of land at the HKBCF Island for topside and underground development for commercial and other economic land uses. It will recommend an overall development concept, formulate the appropriate development parameters, and recommend the market positioning and implementation strategy.
