Supporting Infrastructure Costs

The Government will spend $13.6 billion on major infrastructure works including roads from North Lantau to Penny's Bay, two public ferry piers, transport interchanges, police posts, a fire and ambulance station, drainage and sewage works and the formation of the 280 hectare site. A special feature of the area will be a water recreation centre including a large lake which will also serve as an irrigation reservoir.

Much of the infrastructure would have formed part of the Government's capital works programme to prepare the site for tourism and recreation development even if a Disney theme park and resort were not being built.

Hong Kong Disneyland and associated Disney themed hotel, retail, dining and entertainment developments will occupy about 126-hectares of the site for Phase I. This can be expanded to 180 hectares at a future date.

Extensive landscaping will be carried out to eliminate visual intrusion into the theme park. Existing facilities such as the CLP Power Station and service areas will be screened by a combination of artificial embankments (called berms) and trees.

This article and Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre talks about the same thing. There's no point for two articles. They should be merged.

NB. I didn't realise another article on the lake already exists. I believe this is the better, more complete article as:

1. It is linked from many places
2. InterWiki links from the Chinese version links here

Please state whether you agree/disagree; and also what content from which article should be kept. --Mintchocicecream 12:11, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Our article quotes this as 60-100m without citing a source. That is remarkably deep for an artificial lake, and must be significantly deeper than the adjoining sea/harbour. I find that sufficiently surprising to need a cite to confirm, so I've added a fact tag. -- Starbois (talk) 17:12, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found a reliable source that indicates the depth, have updated the article and cited the source (I think.. editing Wikipedia is so confusing for first time users!).DecemberMeadow (talk) 15:18, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
