The third phase of public consultation on development of the five reclaimed lands in new urban areas starts tomorrow.

During the consultation, which runs until 8 August, there will be community sessions and detail information of proposed development plans will be available in a government services centre in Areia Preta and a community centre in Tap Seac.

The 40-day consultation is the final consultation for the design of a total of 350 hectares of land.

Following the previous two phases of public consultation, which conducted in 2010 and 2011, the Government had compiled a draft for the Master Plan for Macao’s New Urban Areas.

The five land lots are expected to provide for the development of Macao in the coming 20 to 30 years. Lands would be reserved for public housing, public facilities and greening, to meet future needs under the Government’s population policy.
