  • Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works Under the Shatin to Central Link Project
    For Circulation C&W DC Paper No. 109/2017 Central and Western District Council Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works under the Shatin to Central Link Project Introduction 1. This paper aims to update members of the Central and Western District Council on the progress of the expansion works of Admiralty Station under the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) project. Background 2. The 17-kilometre SCL is a territory-wide strategic railway project linked with a number of existing and future railways to form two strategic railway corridors, namely the “East West Corridor” and the “North South Corridor”. The “East West Corridor” will be formed by extending the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai Station to Hung Hom Station where it will connect with the West Rail Line. The “North South Corridor” will extend the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom Station across the Victoria Harbour to Admiralty Station via Exhibition Station. The “East West Corridor” and “North South Corridor” are expected to commission in mid-2019 and the 2021 respectively. 3. Admiralty Station will become the railway transport hub on Hong Kong Island that serves as the interchange for Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, South Island Line (“SIL”) and the SCL. As part of the facilities are integrated for both the SCL and the South Island Line (East) (SIL(E)) project, part of the major works including platforms and interchange concourse were carried out under the SIL(E) project to shorten the overall construction time and minimise disturbance to the environment, road traffic and community. As SIL has been in operation since December 2016, SCL has taken over the works site from SIL(E) in Admiralty to continue the remaining railway construction works.

  • Chapter 5 Provision of Aquatic Recreational and Sports Facilities
    Chapter 5 Provision of aquatic recreational and sports facilities Audit conducted a review to examine the provision and management of aquatic recreational and sports facilities by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and to ascertain whether there were areas for improvement. Gazetted beaches 2. According to paragraph 2.4(a) of the Audit Report, a consultant, who carried out a coastal safety audit on the beaches of Hong Kong in 2000, had advised that the Rocky Bay Beach should be deleted from the list of gazetted beaches because of safety reason and low usage. However, the LCSD considered that de-gazetting beaches was a sensitive issue and decided not to take further action. The Committee asked about the sensitivity of the de-gazetting and whether the LCSD would de-gazette the beach. 3. In response, Ms Anissa WONG Sean-yee, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said that: - in deciding to close the Rocky Bay Beach because of its poor water quality, the Administration had considered whether the beach should be de-gazetted. At that time, the Administration was of the view that it should consider the development of the beach water quality. It was also concerned that the relevant District Council and beach goers might consider that they might need to observe the development of the issue for a period of time; and - taking into account the current situation of the water quality, the usage of the beach, as well as other factors, such as the usage rate of the Shek O Beach, the LCSD agreed in principle to Audit’s recommendation that the Rocky Bay Beach be de-gazetted.

  • LC Paper No. CB(2)295/15-16(01) for Information Legislative Council
    LC Paper No. CB(2)295/15-16(01) For Information Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs The Design and Maintenance of the Artificial Turf Football Pitches under the Management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department Purpose This paper briefs Members on the design and maintenance of the artificial turf football pitches under the management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). Background 2. Since the provision of the first artificial turf football pitch in Boundary Street Recreation Ground by the Urban Council in 1981, the Government has provided artificial turf football pitches in various districts to meet the keen public demand for turf football pitches and facilitate the promotion, training and development of the sport in Hong Kong. In 2003, the LCSD introduced the third generation (3G) artificial turf pitches and started to convert some of the existing natural turf pitches or first/second generation artificial turf pitches1 into 3G turf pitches. 3. Following the passage of a motion by the Legislative Council on “Promoting the development of local football” in June 2008, the Home Affairs Bureau commissioned a consultant to review the development of local football. One of the recommendations of the consultant was to significantly increase the provision of football pitch facilities by providing more artificial turf pitches. The target was to raise the number of 3G artificial turf pitches from 11 to 34 within five years. The recommendation was discussed and accepted at the meeting of the Panel on 1 A first/second generation artificial turf pitch is similar to an artificial turf carpet without rubber granules.
