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.
