The Queen's Pier
LC Paper No. CB(2)2026/06-07(01) For discussion on 1 June 2007 Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs The Queen’s Pier Purpose This paper sets out the considerations and justifications underlying the decision of the Secretary for Home Affairs (“SHA”) (in his capacity as the Antiquities Authority (“AA”)) not to declare Queen's Pier (“the Pier”) as a monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance (Cap. 53) (“the Ordinance”). Background 2. There are places, buildings, sites or structures (“buildings”) within Hong Kong which warrant preservation by different strategies by reason of their historical, archaeological or palaeontological value. The Antiquities and Monuments Office (“AMO”), the executive arm of the AA, is the office which carries out the functions, amongst others, to deal with matters relating to the examination and preservation of such buildings. The Office is headed by its Executive Secretary and comprises professional staff (curators) organized into four sections with expertise in handling historical, archaeological and palaeontological matters. There is also a separate section to provide secretariat and administrative support to both the AAB and the AMO. 3. At present, there are two distinct mechanisms in operation in connection with the preservation of historical buildings, one statutory and the other administrative. Preservation by declaring a building to be a monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance 4. The statutory mechanism for preserving a historical building is by way of declaring such a building to be a proposed monument under section 2A(1) or a monument under section 3 of the Ordinance. Once declared a monument, any demolition, alterations or disruptions may only take place with permits granted by the AA under section 6 of the Ordinance or by way of exemption under the same provision.
