Chief Executive CY Leung today received the first-term work report submitted by the Lantau Development Advisory Committee.
Mr Leung said the committee has fully considered the current situations of various districts on Lantau Island, including conservation needs and development potential, and put forward its vision and its recommendation on short-term work.
Large-scale infrastructure including the Tuen Mun-Chep Lap Kok Link, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the third airport runway will turn Lantau from an outlying island to a significant region of Hong Kong, he said.
Noting the report has been uploaded to the Government website, he called on people to continue to provide comments to develop Lantau.
Mr Leung thanked the committee and the Development Bureau for their efforts.
