237 Controlling Officer's Reply Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2015-16 Reply Serial No. DEVB(W)237 CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY (Question Serial No. 4941) Head: (95) Leisure and Cultural Services Department Subhead (No. & title): Not specified Programme: (3) Heritage and Museums Controlling Officer: Director of Leisure and Cultural Services (Ms Michelle LI) Director of Bureau: Secretary for Development Question: Please list the assessments conducted for historic buildings in the past three years with information on their assessment results, location, historic value and conservation methods. Asked by: Hon CHAN Chi-chuen (Member Question No. 234) Reply: The grading assessments of historic buildings completed or confirmed in the past three financial years (FY) are set out at the Annex. As regards conservation method, the actual arrangement for any graded historic building would have to depend on such factors as the structure, condition and features of individual building as well as the technical feasibility. For government-owned monuments and graded historic buildings, the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) will provide advice to the concerned user bureau/department on the appropriate method for conserving the monuments/historic buildings under their management. Moreover, all the new government capital works projects which would affect monuments/graded historic buildings are required to undergo the Heritage Impact Assessment process to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented to minimise the impact of the projects on the concerned monuments/historic buildings. For privately-owned graded historic buildings, the Commissioner for Heritage’s Office (CHO) of the Development Bureau has launched the Financial Assistance for Maintenance Scheme to provide funding to owners of private historic buildings to carry out maintenance works. We have also put in place an internal monitoring mechanism whereby relevant government departments such as the Buildings Department, the Planning Department and the Lands Department will alert CHO and AMO if they receive any applications for development, alteration or use which may affect privately-owned graded historic buildings. On receipt of such notification, CHO and AMO will explore with the concerned private owners on appropriate conservation options for conserving their historic buildings.

  • Paper on the Proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(1)925/13-14(07) Ref: CB1/PL/DEV Panel on Development Meeting on 25 February 2014 Background brief on the proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Areas Purpose This paper provides background information on the proposed Kwu Tung North ("KTN") and Fanling North ("FLN") New Development Areas ("NDAs") and gives a brief account of the views and concerns expressed by Members on the subject at the meetings of the Legislative Council ("LegCo") and the Panel on Development ("DEV Panel") since July 20131. Background 2. The Planning and Development Study on the North East New Territories commissioned in 1998 identified KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling ("PC/TKL") as suitable NDAs for development in one scheme, namely the NENT NDAs. In view of the slower growth of population, the NENT NDAs proposals were shelved in 2003. Four years later, the findings of the "Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy" recommended proceeding with the NDA developments to address the long-term housing need and to create more employment opportunities. 1 KTN and FLN NDAs are two of the three NDAs (KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling) proposed under the North East New Territories ("NENT") NDAs project. On 4 July 2013, having gone through three stages of public engagement from 2008 to 2012 on the proposed project, the Administration announced that it would first proceed with the planning of KTN and FLN NDAs. The proposed Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling NDA will be reviewed and re-planned.

  • Public Meeting with the Kwu Tung North Residents
    Appendix 9 Agreement No. CE 61/2007 North East New Territories New Development Areas Planning and Engineering Study - Investigation Gist of Public Meeting with the Kwu Tung North Residents Date : 29 July 2012 (Sunday) Time : 2:30pm Venue : Sheung Shui Ku Tung Public Oi Wah School Overall Development Strategies The New Development Areas (NDAs) should be developed in Sandy Ridge and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling, to minimize the impacts to existing residents; Some villagers expressed that constructing the NDA at the expense of existing residents to solve the problems due to the Government's mistakes in housing policy and doubly-non permanent residents policy was unfair to the villagers. The Government had not taken the locals’ concerns into considerations, such as the growing population in Sheung Shui. The shopping malls were now occupied by chain stores, development aimed to cater for the needs of tourists from the Mainland; Kwu Tung North (KTN) should be developed with the top priority given to improve the living of the existing residents. However, it was considered that the villagers would not be able to benefit from the KTN NDA development; NDAs development should cater for the existing affected parties rather than the future population of the NDAs; Some suggested that the Fanling Lodge should be developed first or it could be used as a rehousing site for the affected residents as it had a large site area and a low usage rate; Some worried about the health issues that the NDAs development would bring to the residents, such as air pollution, etc.; Some were concerned about that the construction cost of proposed infrastructure of the NDAs development was too high; and Some demanded to shelve the development proposals and opposed to any collusion.

  • Historic Building Appraisal of the Eight New Items
    N77 Historic Building Appraisal Kowloon City Ferry Piers, Passenger Pier, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Along the coastline of To Kwa Wan (土瓜灣), Passenger Pier (客輪碼頭) of Historical the Kowloon City Ferry Piers (九龍城碼頭) were completed in 1956. The pier Interest bears witness to the development of Hong Kong’s transport and the development of eastern Kowloon in the second half of the 20th century. The idea of a ferry pier in Kowloon City was mooted in 1951 when the Harbour Ferry Services Advisory Committee recommended that first priority should be given to a new passenger ferry service between Kowloon City and Wan Chai. The pier was bought into use on 3 July 1956, when ferry service of Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company (香港油蔴地小輪船有限公司) (HKYFC) started operating between Kowloon City and Tonnochy Road Ferry Pier (杜老誌道碼頭) of Wan Chai. However, this ferry service was terminated since 24 June 1967 due to the outbreak of riots that year. Another passenger ferry service between Kowloon City and North Point, which is still in operation at present, was launched in 1963. Moreover, from 1975 to 1980 there was also a ferry service between Kowloon City and Sau Kei Wan (筲箕灣), the Hong Kong-side of which was changed to Tai Koo Shing (太 古城) between 1980 and 1983. Ferry service between Kowloon City and Sai Wan Ho (西灣河) was maintained between 1983 and 1987. Nowadays, the Kowloon City pier only serves ferry service to North Point. The Passenger Pier is a utilitarian structure in the Modernist or International Architectural Modern style, featuring flat roof, smooth flat plain undecorated surfaces often Merit painted white, the complete elimination of all mouldings and ornament, and the adoption of reinforced concrete post-and-slab construction with flat slab floors and a flat roof-slab carried on concrete columns or posts.
