Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Raimundo do Rosário, said the height of buildings in reclaimed areas was a reference only, not the final decision.

Speaking to reporters after a committee meeting in the Legislative Assembly on 8 July, the Secretary said the information in the consultation document was suggested by experts after their visits to the area.

The Government would take a close look into the opinion collected in the consultation and professional advice from experts, as general public might not be fully aware of technical details.

He urged the public to contribute their opinion on the master plan of the five plots of reclamation area during the consultation period, which would be ended at 8 August.
