Nga Tsin Wai Road/Carpenter Road Project (KC-017)
Commenced in May 2022, KC-017 Project outlined the planning visions based on the aspirations of the local residents and stakeholders over the years, to improve traffic conditions, enhance the community facilities and living environment in the district.
Located at Carpenter Road and Nga Tsin Wai Road, KC-017 occupies a total area of about 37,060 square metres and comprises a main site, a northern site and an eastern site. The main and the eastern sites cover about 120 street numbers of buildings, in which three public facilities, namely the Kowloon City Municipal Services Building, Kowloon City Lions Club Health Centre, and Lee Kee Memorial Dispensary, are located in the main site; whereas the northern site is situated within the Carpenter Road Park.

Legend
Through replanning the land uses of the three sites, part of the Carpenter Road Park in northern site will be designated for reprovisioning community facilities, including the Kowloon City Market and the adjoining facilities, by building a new government complex under a ‘Single Site, Multiple Uses’ approach. Such reprovisioning plan will achieve a seamless transition of public facilities to minimise inconvenience to users of the public services. The new government complex and the other two sites in KC-017, altogether will provide approximately 47,000 square metres of floor area for Government, Institution or Community (G/IC) facilities, tripling the existing area within the project boundary.
