"I recently spoke with a senior engineer at CEDD involved in the YSW harbour redevelopment phase II. I imagine some people would be interested in what he said. Not in any particular order, he said that the CEDD is currently reviewing the project with the Planning Dept. Objections raised during the consultation stage are being aired, with objections to the Emergency Vehicle Access road and the so-called Commercial Site receiving particular attention.
Apparently, CEDD is proposing that both of these could - or even should - be scrapped, which would possibly then lead to a complete reappraisal of the existing plan. However, he said the Planning Dept. calls the shots and could, theoretically, plough ahead with the plan as it stands.
He said they are under a lot of pressure from the District Council to get on with it, but added that with the current situation in LegCo and the ongoing review it is highly unlikely any action will take place before 2017, and quite possibly later."

They are proceeding with all the administrative details they can without any public participation.
Like every other project, the details are all decided and agreed between the power brokers long before the public has a chance to discuss, let alone propose any changes.
But there must eventually be a public consultation, in which they will try to bulldoze through, smearing any opponents.
Since we did manage to bring it to a halt the last time it was proposed in the 90s, there is hope.
We have to hold the line. The proportion of non-DAB-supporting residents is only increasing.
EVERYONE WHO LIVES HERE HAS THE RIGHT, AND OBLIGATION, TO VOTE for LegCo, District Council, Village Reps (if not for CE).
As long as the yuppies can be bothered to register to vote and turn out we can get someone in power who is not focused on pouring concrete to the exclusion of all else.
How dumb are our "representatives", that with what was once, and could be again now that sewage won't be going into it, an attractive, even swimmable, natural beach in the village bay, that the only way they can imagine using it is as first a garbage dump and now paving it over (and then continuing to dump garbage, no doubt)?
They block access to it and harass anyone trying to clean it up.
For a village whose business depends on tourism this is almost criminal neglect.
Look at Tung Wan on Cheung Chau, for instance, as how a beach can be an asset to the village.
In YSW you have to clamber up and down a stone wall to even get onto the beach.

We will host a signature collection campaign and contact local media to give some pressure to the government even it may be a bit late(since Yu Lai Fan has betrayed the locals, she kept saying that she would negotiate for the locals).

LG I can't find anything about developments at Sham Wan. I've had problems with the link, but seems to me it's still marked out as an SSSI (i.e. do not touch).
