Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario reaffirmed yesterday his long-held stance that in line with the Land Law the government will repossess any idle plots of land after their provisional concessions have expired, when asked by reporters about 14 idle plots of land in Nam Van’s Zones C and D.
The 25-year-provisional concessions of the plots are slated to expire on July 30.
Also asked by reporters about the undeveloped plots yesterday, Pansy Ho Chiu King, managing director of Hong Kong-listed Shun Tak Holdings, said the company would consider whether to take legal action if the government repossessed the Nam Van plots where the company’s planned “Harbour Mile” residential project was to be located.
