Development of Wetland Conservation Parks System

The Northern Metropolis Development Strategy promulgated in 2021 proposed to establish a WCPs System, with a view to conserving the Deep Bay wetlands with ecological value, and creating environmental capacity for the Northern Metropolis to achieve co-existence of conservation and development.  The Strategic Feasibility Study on the Development of the WCPs System, commissioned by the AFCD in August 2022, had reviewed the ecological conditions, land use and planning matters, aquaculture activities and eco-education and recreation facilities, etc., in the proposed areas of the WCPs System, and formulated recommendations on the overall implementation strategy for the development of the WCPs System, including the proposed boundaries, positioning and functions, conceptual plans and management options of the proposed Parks under the system.  The consultant also collected views from the public and stakeholders on the initiative through two stages of public engagement exercises, and suitably incorporated such views.

The Feasibility Study has been duly completed and the report is available below:
