The Government today (June 11) invites tenders for a short-term tenancy (STT) of one lot of government land at Lok Wah Street in Tsz Wan Shan (STT No. STTKE0056) to be used for a fee-paying public car park, with the installation of an automated parking system (APS). The tenancy is for a fixed term of five years and renewable thereafter on a half-yearly basis.
To increase the supply of parking spaces and utilise space more effectively, the Government is taking a number of APS projects forward. The first three APS projects at the STT sites at Hoi Shing Road in Tsuen Wan, Pak Shek Kok in Tai Po and Tung Chau Street in Sham Shui Po commenced services in November 2021, December 2022 and April 2024 respectively. The fourth APS project at the STT car park at Hoi Wang Road in Yau Ma Tei is expected to be commissioned within 2025.
The STT site in Tsz Wan Shan is the fifth site with an APS installation. Under the tenancy agreement, the successful tenderer is required to erect, construct and install an APS at the site within 15 months from the commencement date of the tenancy, providing not less than 39 automated parking spaces out of a total minimum of 189 parking spaces.
The Tender Document can be obtained from the Lands Department website (www.landsd.gov.hk) or the following offices:
