The Sau Wa Fong area in Wan Chai has been designated for residential purposes, subject to plot ratio and building height restrictions, the Town Planning Board says.

The approved Wan Chai Outline Zoning Plan, covering an area of about 89 hectares, is bounded by Gloucester Road to the north, Percival Street to the east, Leighton Road, Queen's Road East and Kennedy Road to the south, and Monmouth Path and Arsenal Street to the west.

About 25 hectares of land has been zoned for commercial or residential purpose, 14 hectares for government or community facilities and four hectares for outdoor open-air public space.

The old post office building at Queen's Road East which is currently used as an Environmental Resources Centre has been annotated historical building preserved for cultural and community uses to reflect the planning intention to preserve this historic monument.
