The Environmental Protection Department says the Tamar development will not have any adverse impact on air quality.
The department said the environmental impact assessment report for the Central Reclamation Phase III has covered existing and planned developments including the proposed Central Government Complex at Tamar site.
The report had undergone public consultation between July and August 2001 under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance. The Advisory Council on the Environment endorsed it and the department approved it in August 2001.
The report concluded that the Tamar development would not have any adverse impact on air quality.
Given that there has been no change in land use proposed in the Central Reclamation Phase III, the relevant environmental impact assessment report is still valid and no updating is required.
