Hong Kong's Government proposed on September 18 permitting marina development works within an area of about 11 hectares of foreshore and sea-bed inside Aberdeen South Typhoon Shelter and the expansion area of Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter, according to a notice gazetted that day.

The proposed works listed in the notice include clearing existing structures, constructing piles, installing floating pontoons, building pedestrian connections to the land area within the marina and a proposed walkway in the typhoon shelter expansion area, modifying existing landing steps, seawall and breakwater, and building a drainage outfall. The notice and plan were posted near the site and made available for inspection at the Lands Department's Survey and Mapping Office, the Southern Home Affairs Enquiry Centre and the Lands Department website.

Anyone claiming an interest, right or easement in or over the affected foreshore and sea-bed may submit a written objection to the Director of Lands within two months of the gazette date, on or before November 18, describing that interest and how they would allegedly be affected. Enquiries were directed to the Civil Engineering and Development Department's Special Duties (Works) Division as stated in the notice.
