In controversies such as the Wan Chai North reclamation, Central reclamation, Lung Mei Beach and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, activists used judicial review as a means.
The statutory strategic environmental assessment for Stage 3 of the Central Reclamation Plan was completed in August 2001, covering a study area of about 25 hectares.
The Secretary also stated that the Government did not intend to carry out any new reclamation projects within the harbour area, with the exceptions of Central, Wan Chai North, and Southeast Kowloon development.
The Society for Protection of the Harbour applied to the court to quash the relevant Town Planning Board resolution and urged an order to fully halt the Wan Chai North reclamation project.
On 28 September 2003, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced that the Central Reclamation Phase III works would be suspended until the court handed down its ruling.
On the same day, the Society for the Protection of the Harbour launched a blue ribbon campaign and held a rally against reclamation in Central, attended by about 500 members of the public.
The Court of Final Appeal also interpreted the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance, holding that future reclamation must satisfy an overriding public need.
In July 2004, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government commenced a comprehensive review of the Kai Tak development plan on the premise of no reclamation.
On 9 January 2004, the Court of Final Appeal dismissed the Town Planning Board's appeal against the injunction over the Wan Chai North reclamation plan.
On the same day, the SAR Government reiterated that, apart from Central Reclamation Phase III, Wan Chai North and Southeast Kowloon, there would be no future reclamation in Victoria Harbour.
Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier, located in Central, ceased operation on 11 November 2006 owing to the Central reclamation project, after a total of 49 years of service.
To comply with the relevant legislation, the SAR Government reduced the scope of reclamation works and stated that no new reclamation projects would be carried out within Victoria Harbour.
On 1 August 2007, in response to the Central Reclamation Phase III project, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced the resumption of the government land on which Queen's Pier stood and the demolition of the pier, which had a history of 82 years.
On 3 October 2007, the Society for the Protection of the Harbour filed a judicial review against the temporary reclamation works of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass project.
The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region stated that the bypass project has a public need that outweighs other considerations, that the adopted option has minimised the reclamation area, and that it is the final reclamation project within Victoria Harbour.
The Enhanced Land Supply Strategy - Reclamation Outside Victoria Harbour and Rock Cavern Development completed in 2013 selected rock cavern and reclamation options with relatively higher environmental benefits.
In the environmental impact assessment report published in 2014, the Airport Authority proposed reducing the reclamation area for the Three-Runway System project to 650 hectares.
On 18 July 2014, the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society pointed out that Chinese white dolphins had permanently lost habitat due to reclamation works, with the affected area reaching about 6,000 hectares.
In 2016, works on the Hong Kong International Airport Three-Runway System began, with reclamation carried out in the waters north of Lantau Island, causing the loss of 672 hectares of seabed.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held at Hong Kong International Airport for the Three-Runway System project, involving reclamation of 650 hectares of land in the waters north of the airport.
