Lau is also a non-official member of the Lantau Development Advisory Committee (LanDAC), which has controversially proposed developing [[Lantau Island]] to house up to one million residents (up from the current population of around 100,000). Lau stated that the proposed developments were "relatively small scale and would not pose much conflict with conservation", though the area marked for "conservation" actually includes large-scale commercial development such as the construction of resort hotels at Cheung Sha.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Lai|first1=Ying-kit|title='Quite a bit of space': Hong Kong development adviser who says Lantau Island is underused met with scepticism and silence|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/economy/article/1899915/quite-bit-space-hong-kong-development-adviser-says-lantau|work=South China Morning Post|date=11 January 2016}}</ref>
