  • Recreation, Sport, Culture and the Arts
    Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport, Culture and the Arts Hong Kong’s hard-working people enjoy a wide variety of sports, cultural and recreational opportunities, whether as participants or spectators. They range from major international sports and arts events to community programmes in which people of all ages and abilities can take part. The Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) co-ordinates government policies on recreation, sports, culture and heritage. Organisations such as the Sports Commission and the Hong Kong Arts Development Council help the government in drawing up these policies. The Sports Commission advises on all matters relating to sports development and oversees committees on community sports, elite sports and major sports events. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of HAB, provides services to preserve Hong Kong’s cultural heritage, enhance its physical environment, and foster co-operative interaction between sports, cultural and community organisations. The LCSD organises exhibitions, sporting events and cultural performances ranging from music and dance to opera. Recreation and Sports The LCSD develops and co-ordinates the provision of high quality recreational and sports facilities for leisure enjoyment including parks, landscaped open spaces, sports grounds, playgrounds, sports centres, holiday camps, water sports centres, swimming pools and beaches. It also organises and supports a wide variety of recreation and sports programmes to promote community sports, identify sporting talent and raise sporting standards. It works closely with the District Councils (DCs), the National Sports Associations under the auspices of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, District Sports Associations, and schools to promote sport-for-all and encourage everyone to participate in sports and recreational activities.

  • LC Paper No. CB(2)1008/12-13(06)
    LC Paper No. CB(2)1008/12-13(06) For information on 23 April 2013 Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs and Panel on Development Joint Subcommittee to Monitor the Implementation of the West Kowloon Cultural District Project Management and utilization of the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) site prior to commencement of the construction works for the WKCD project PURPOSE This paper informs Members of the current management and utilization of the WKCD site for temporary uses prior to the commencement of construction works for the WKCD project. BACKGROUND 2. To meet the tight construction programme of the WKCD project, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) has commenced advance works such as site investigation at different parts of the site since early 2013, to be followed by construction of permanent facilities in phases. Before the main construction works commence, the WKCDA takes the opportunity to use the headland area including the waterfront promenade for organizing temporary events. A short term tenancy (STT) was obtained from the Lands Department in 2012 for such purpose and the STT Site is indicated at Annex 1. The overall objectives of the temporary uses include: (a) provide opportunities for outdoor and/or indoor events; (b) raise public awareness of the future uses of the site; (c) bring people to WKCD so that they will get familiar with access to the site and reinforce the message that WKCD is developed for all the people of Hong Kong with different backgrounds and interests; (d) act as incubators for developing and nurturing talents in performing arts and visual culture, plus associated venue 1 management and other ancillary professional/technical skills; (e) pilot the integration of software building with hardware development in response to public expectation; and (f) provide the WKCDA with a foretaste of running a site with mixed commercial and cultural activities, and balance the two to achieve a financially sustainable and viable operation for WKCD.

  • Paper on Integration and Connectivity of the West Kowloon Cultural
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(2)561/14-15(03) Ref : CB2/PS/3/12 Joint Subcommittee to Monitor the Implementation of the West Kowloon Cultural District Project Updated background brief prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat for the meeting on 12 January 2015 Integration and connectivity of the West Kowloon Cultural District with its neighbouring districts Purpose 1. This paper summarizes the deliberations of the Joint Subcommittee to Monitor the Implementation of the West Kowloon Cultural District Project ("the Joint Subcommittee") on issues relating to the integration and connectivity of the West Kowloon Cultural District ("WKCD") with its neighbouring districts. Background 2. As stated in the approved Development Plan ("DP") of WKCD, accessibility and connectivity are two of the seven key planning and design principles for the development of WKCD. WKCD adopts a "vehicle-free" design concept, where all vehicular traffic and servicing facilities will be put underground to create a safe and open environment for pedestrians and improve the air quality at the ground level. According to the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority ("WKCDA"), the connectivity plan of WKCD has been formulated to make WKCD accessible by various modes of transport and easy to move around for all mobility groups. WKCD would be connected with the neighbouring districts and other parts of Hong Kong through various existing and planned pedestrian connections as well as railway and road networks. 3. When the subject was last discussed at the meeting of the Joint Subcommittee on 7 July 2014, members were advised that WKCDA would engage a consultant in the second half of 2014 to formulate a transport operation plan for WKCD.
