Yau_Tong_Bay_redevelopment

Top left photo - red colored demarcation shows the extent of land granted for redevelopment from industrial use to residential, with the Yau Tong Bay coastline entirely untouched

 

Bottom left photo - after demolition of all the sheds and dockyard buildings on the lots acquired by a real estate developer, the coastline remains but a few lots have owners unwilling to sell their land, and business activities went on

 

Bottom right - the ship building industry and timber saw mills were thriving in the mid-60s, with timber logs set afloat extensively on the water of the Yau Tong Bay; the dock slipways were also busy with boats being built or repaired

 

Top right photo - after more than 10 years, the development remained dormant as the last pieces of land have still to be acquired for a combined mega development
