The following members declared interest since they had been involved in planning the new Legislative Council Complex (the LegCo Complex) at Tamar as members of the Legislative Council Commission (the LegCo Commission) - Ms Emily LAU Mr Henry WU Dr LAW Chi-kwong Mr LI Wah-ming Mr IP Kwok-him 25. The Chairman informed members that Mr LAU Ping-cheung, who was not able to attend the meeting, had written to declare interest that he was an employee of W T Partnership (Hong Kong) Limited, which provided quantity surveying service for one of the prequalified tenders for the design-and-build contract for the Tamar development project (i.e. project 63KA). He however was not personally involved in the project. 26. Members noted that the two proposed projects had been discussed at a meeting of the Panel on Planning, Lands and Works on 4 April 2003. Dr TANG Siu-tong, Chairman of the Panel, reported that members of the Panel were generally supportive of the projects. However, some members did not consider that there was a need to construct the exhibition gallery, and expressed concern that locating the exhibition gallery at the Tamar site would make the whole development overcrowded.

  • Profiling English in China the Pearl River Delta
    Profi ling English in China Graddol David David Graddol The Pearl River Delta David Graddol In Profi ling English in China: The Pearl River Delta, David Graddol explores the changing status of the English language in a part of China undergoing rapid economic, social and political transformation. Breaking new methodological ground, David Graddol demonstrates how a study of public discourse – in newspapers, blogs, signs and advertisements in the urban landscape – can be used to monitor the complex changing role that English is now playing in education, employment and evolving social identities. Profi ling English in China: The Pearl River Delta River ling English in China: The Pearl Profi He argues that researchers need to distinguish between di erent levels of English profi ciency more sensitively and illustrates how the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) can be used as a research tool by sociolinguists. Profi ling English in China: The Pearl River Delta is intended as the fi rst of a series of books exploring the changing social, economic and educational contexts in which English is learned and used. David Graddol presents methods of inquiry which will be useful for researchers working in other parts of the world. The book will be essential reading for anyone seeking a wider understanding of the role of English in globalisation and economic development. David Graddol is Director of the English Company (UK) Ltd. He was employed for many years in the Faculty of Education and Language Studies at the UK Open University. During much of the period of research for this book he was Visiting Associate Professor at City University, Hong Kong.

  • Page 1/6 PROJECT PROFILE for – NORTH ISLAND LINE (NIL) 1
    PROJECT PROFILE FOR – NORTH ISLAND LINE (NIL) 1. Basic Information 1.1 Project Title North Island Line (NIL) 1.2 Purpose and Nature The NIL Project describes the construction and operation of a new railway line on the North Coast of Hong Kong Island. NIL was included as a high priority in the recently updated Rail Development Strategy (RDS2). The 3.5 km fully underground NIL will extend the existing Tung Chung Line (TCL) from Hong Kong Station to link with the existing Island Line at Fortress Hill, effectively extending the TCL along Island Line (ISL) East to Chai Wan. In order to achieve this, it will be necessary to “Swap” the ISL such that stations west of Tin Hau (i.e. Tin Hau to Sheung Wan) will become part of the Tseung Kwan O Line. The Swap will greatly relieve future interchange movements at Quarry Bay and North Point, which are predicted to become critical soon after the opening of the Tseung Kwan O Extension. The NIL will also give greater penetration on Hong Kong island for passengers traveling on the Tung Chung Line from Lantau, West Kowloon and North West New Territories. 1.3 Detailed Project Description The North Island Link alignment commences from the end of the Hong Kong Extended Overrun Tunnel (EOT) and continues east to Tamar Station. Track level at Tamar Station is approximately – 10mPD. Tamar Station is an underground station with one level of island platform and a concourse above the platform. The NIL has two alignment options east of Tamar Station, i.e.

The written response was tabled at the meeting of the Public Works Subcommittee on 29 May 2006. The English version will be forwarded to members once it is available. (Paul WOO) Clerk to the Public Works Subcommittee Encl. c.c. Other members of the Finance Committee Public Works Subcommittee of Legislative Council Meeting on 29 May 2006 PWSC (2006-07)15 – Tamar Development Project In its letter to the Public Works Subcommittee of the Legislative Council (LegCo) on 23 May 2006, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong raised ten questions. Although some of the questions are on the waterfront development and Road P2, which are not covered by the funding application for the Tamar development project, we would respond to all the issues raised as follows- (1) How will the Administration ensure that the Tamar site and the adjacent areas will remain a hub of activity and not become a “dead city” on holidays and outside office hours on weekdays? The waterfront adjacent the Tamar site will provide for a mix of uses, including alfresco dining areas, outdoor media shows, art display and performance venues and galleries.

    For discussion PWSC(2002-03)41 on 5 June 2002 ITEM FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE OF FINANCE COMMITTEE HEAD 707 - NEW TOWNS AND URBAN AREA DEVELOPMENT Hong Kong Island and Islands Development Civil Engineering - Land development 343CL - Central reclamation phase III - engineering works Members are invited to recommend to Finance Committee the upgrading of 343CL to Category A at an estimated cost of $3,561.5 million in money-of-the- day prices for implementation of the Central reclamation phase III. PROBLEM We need to implement the proposed Central reclamation phase III (CRIII) to provide land for the construction of the much needed Central-Wan Chai Bypass (CWB), other infrastructural facilities, and a world-class waterfront promenade for public enjoyment. PROPOSAL 2. The Director of Territory Development (DTD), with the support of the Secretary for Planning and Lands and Secretary for Transport, proposes to upgrade 343CL to Category A at an estimated cost of $3,561.5 million in money- of-the-day (MOD) prices for reclamation of about 18 hectares (ha) of land and construction of the road network, drainage and sewerage systems together with other land and marine transport facilities for CRIII. /PROJECT ..... PWSC(2002-03)41 Page 2 PROJECT SCOPE AND NATURE 3. The scope of 343CL comprises – (a) reclamation of about 18 ha of seabed from the “Star” Ferry Piers at Central to Lung King Street including construction of about 1.2 kilometres (km) of seawalls; (b) construction of primary distributor Roads P1 and P2 of about 1.1 km in total length, including

    PROJECT PROFILE FOR NORTH HONG KONG ISLAND LINE (NIL) 1. Basic Information 1.1 Project Title North Hong Kong Island Line (NIL) 1.2 Purpose and Nature The NIL Project Profile describes the construction and operation of a new railway line on the North Coast of Hong Kong Island. The NIL has been included as a high priority MTR Corporation project in the recently announced Railway Development Strategy 2000. The 3.5 km fully underground NIL will extend the existing Tung Chung Line (TCL) from Hong Kong Station to link with the existing Island Line at Fortress Hill, effectively extending the TCL along the Island Line (ISL) eastwards to Chai Wan. In order to achieve this, it will be necessary to “Swap” the ISL such that stations west of Tin Hau (i.e. Tin Hau to Sheung Wan) will become part of the Tseung Kwan O Line. The Swap will greatly relieve future interchange movements at Quarry Bay and North Point Stations, which are predicted to become congested soon after the opening of the Tseung Kwan O Extension in 2002 and will provide two parallel lines on Hong Kong Island. The NIL will also give greater penetration on Hong Kong island for passengers travelling on the Tung Chung Line from Lantau, West Kowloon and North West New Territories helping to improve the ability of the Tung Chung Line to relieve crowding on the Tsuen Wan Line. 1.3 Detailed Project Description The NIL alignment commences from the east end of the Hong Kong Station Extended Overrun Tunnel (EOT) and continues east to Tamar Station.
