Sustainability Report 2023/24
Construction • Implemented waste management plan and monitored noise, water quality, air quality and ecological impact • Mitigated dust emissions by using precast concrete slabs on haul roads • Conducted no noisy foundation works when migratory birds were in Hong Kong and when the Wetland Park was open to the public • Installed six-metre-high barriers along the boundary of the developments to minimize noise pollution CASE STUDY Wetland Seasons Bay Environmental conservation and compliance are priorities at Wetland Seasons Park and Wetland Seasons Bay, our large residential projects near the Hong Kong Wetland Park. Located in close proximity to Hong Kong’s only wetland park, multiple habitats can be found near the Wetland Seasons Bay, including freshwater marshes, mangroves and intertidal mudflats. Realizing this importance, we minimize our impact on the nearby habitats and seek to preserve local biodiversity wherever possible. The low-density residential project blends in with the surroundings through careful designs and construction methods, aiming to mitigate any adverse impacts of our activities on the Hong Kong Wetland Park and the surrounding ecosystem and biodiversity. Planning, Design and Landscape • A stepped height design includes lower buildings near the Wetland Park. The 40-metre-wide primary and secondary breezeways enhance wind flow and ventilation for the Tin Shui Wai Town Centre community • A landscape buffer zone creates a smooth transition between the project and the Wetland Park. The lighting was chosen to not disturb the park or the surrounding ecosystem • Earth tones for facades and low reflective glazing prevent birds colliding with the buildings • 89 trees were preserved and more than 1,500 native trees and 250,000 bushes were planted • To raise residents’ environmental awareness, a wetland-themed gallery exhibits paintings and sculptures depicting migratory birds and elements of the Wetland Park In the Green Building Awards 2023, Wetland Seasons Park won the Grand Award in the Existing Buildings Category: Facilities Management.
