WWF Mai Po

The news is that PSFSC and its carpark will not need to close in February after the Big Bird Race as we initially thought. The reason for this is slippage in the programme.  As things currently stand, this closure is not expected to happen until April or May and as such users should be able to  enjoy parking this year up until the end of the Bird Season.

WWF remain committed to giving stakeholders at least two months’ notice of the actual closure and the alternative arrangements.  

We are also happy to brief stakeholders on developments on PSFSC and the Project as a whole just after CNY.

On the subject of the EIA there are only two elements of the Upgrade Project that are directly subject to an EIA under the EIAO and those are the proposed footpath renovation, planned to run from  April –October 2020 and the proposed construction of two new Tower Hides  planned to run from  April –October 2020  and April-October 2021.   

WWF of course recognize that PSFSC Demolition and Construction should be recorded as a concurrent project in the EIA and we are committed to providing as much detail as we can of the PSFSC works including the extensive use of noise barriers and dust prevention measures.  

WWF are currently in the process of finalizing the major components of PSFSC Detailed Design such as the Foundations and Superstructure and when we are sure of this we can update the PSFSC Concurrent Project and submit the EIA.
