The Lands and Urban Construction Bureau (DSSCU) said in a statement yesterday that its officials, in conjunction with personnel from several other government entities, launched a joint operation to reclaim an Illegally occupied plot located on Rua de Entre-Campos (田畔街) near the peninsula’s Luís de Camões Garden yesterday, which will be developed into a temporary carpark.
The statement pointed out that the illegally occupied land measures around 1,685 square metres. There were various illegal constructions on the site, such as a brick-walled structure with a corrugated zinc sheet roof, several piles of metal scaffolding, as well as stored tools, construction materials, and miscellaneous items.
The Lands and Urban Construction Bureau had ordered the illegal occupant to vacate and return the land to the government within a specified deadline. Following the expiration of the deadline, most of the materials on the plot had been removed; however, the illegal constructions and a small amount of debris remained, the statement added.
Consequently, the government executed a joint operation to repossess the land so that the plot can be developed into a temporary carpark, the statement said, adding that the relevant entity will start setting up the carpark as soon as possible.
Simultaneously, given the presence of officially registered wooden huts on the land, the Housing Bureau (IH) also dispatched officials to assist with the operation, the statement said.
The statement noted that the plot is one of the 39 parcels planned for temporary use by the government.
