The Macao SAR Government today announced a 20-year urban development plan that would include reclaiming 398 hectares of seabed to provide more land for the mid-term development of the SAR. Secretary for Transports and Public Works, Mr Ao Man Long, said the plan was in line with the Government’s outline for development and would be carried out in several phases. Speaking at a press conference, Mr Ao said the Government expected that the reclaimed land would provide room for road network enhancement, more green areas, larger living space and a more impressing sight on the waterfront. Reclamation of 398 hectares would involve 105 hectares off the northeastern coast of Macao Peninsular, 13 hectares along Sun Yat Sen Avenue on the southeastern coast, and 280 hectares off the northern coast of Taipa Island. Of the reclaimed land, 41% or about 163 hectares would be for residential, commercial buildings and hotels, while the remaining 59% or about 235 hectares would be for green areas, leisure space, communal facilities and road networks. Mr Ao said the Taipa reclamation works would be awarded after an international public tender exercise.
