An electricity driven funicular train system through a tunnel is proposed to minimize the environmental impacts due to construction and operation of a new visitor transportation link between the lowland area and headland area.

The revised design of funicular train alignment is all in tunnel, resulting in less noise, ecological and landscape and visual impacts than the previously proposed viaduct section.

The service reservoir proposed near the Summit of Nam Long Shan will be relocated and concealed within the footprint of the Summit development, resulting in reduced habitat loss and reduced visual impact.

The proposal of a new Emergency Vehicular Access (EVA) from Tai Shue Wan to Headland area is eliminated because of the likely ecological impacts arising from its construction.

To mitigate the operation noise impacts due to the night show at the open-air venue, the total sound power level of all loudspeaker clusters will be controlled to not exceeding 109dB(A) and the sound pressure level at 9m away from each loudspeaker cluster will not exceed 75dB(A).

The construction site runoff from the Headland area will be diverted into the existing stormwater drains discharged near Tai Shue Wan to avoid impacts on coral communities in the marine water around the Nam Long Shan headland.

During rainy seasons, silt curtain will be installed around the site run-off discharged point.

To conserve the marine ecological resources in the vicinity of the project area, no marine-based construction works will be carried out.

Six hectares of existing low shrubland area will be enhanced by providing tall native shrubs to compensate for the loss of 4.8 hectares of tall shrubland habitat.

The site clearance works in the Headland area will be carried out outside of the breeding season of Black Kites that last from October to May of the next year.

Six uncommon plant species will be transplanted within site.

A specialist on outdoor sport lighting and illumination will be employed to design, manage and oversee the implementation and maintenance of the illumination requirements and system for the Project.

The specialist will also undertake any necessary mitigation measures to control possible glare and uncomfortable eye feeling brought on by the outdoor lights and illumination system of the Project.
