Praya East Reclamation Scheme (Chinese: 海旁東填海計劃) was a large scale land reclamation project in colonial Hong Kong lasting from 1921 to 1931 under Sir Catchick Paul Chater.[2][failed verification]
The plan was first proposed while the existing Praya Reclamation Scheme was already active in 1897. Construction did not start until 20 years later when the Royal Navy agreed to relocate the Naval hospital to Stonecutters Island.[2][failed verification]
