No. Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995 (Amendment of Schedule 16) Order 2013 (Commencement) Notice ...................................................................... 15/2014 Dangerous Goods (Consignment by Air) (Safety) Regulations (Amendment of Schedule) Order 2013 (Commencement) Notice ........................................ 16/2014 Other Paper No. 73 ─ Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Reports of the Director of Audit on the Accounts of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the year ended 31 March 2013 and the Results of Value for Money Audits (Report No. 61) (February 2014 ─ P.A.C. Report No. 61) ADDRESSES PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Address. Mr Abraham SHEK will address the Council on the Public Accounts Committee Report No. 61. 6132 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 12 February 2014 Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Reports of the Director of Audit on the Accounts of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the year ended 31 March 2013 and the Results of Value for Money Audits (Report No. 61) (February 2014 ─ P.A.C. Report No. 61) MR ABRAHAM SHEK: President, on behalf of the Public Accounts Committee (the Committee), I have the honour to table our Report No. 61 today. The Committee has, as in the past, decided to hold hearings on those chapters covered by the Director of Audit's Report No. 61 which, in our view, contained more serious allegations of irregularities or shortcomings. The Committee's Report tabled today covers our conclusions and recommendations on three of the 10 chapters selected. I now report the conclusions and recommendations on the three chapters covered in our Report No. 61. First, I would like to speak on the direct land grants to private clubs at nil or nominal premium, which are commonly called private recreational leases (PRLs). The Committee finds it unacceptable and inexcusable that the Home Affairs Bureau only started to conduct a comprehensive review of the PRL policy in September 2013, despite the facts that the Executive Council was informed by the Administration in 1969 that the Government would review he PRL policy from time to time to ensure that public interest continued to be served, and the Administration was further urged by some Members of the Legislative Council as early as 2002 to review the PRL policy. The Committee notes that the comprehensive review of the PRL policy would not cover the renewal of the remaining 13 PRLs that expired in 2011 or 2012, but might impact on the renewal of the PRLs that expired after 2014. Preliminary results of the review are expected to be available by the end of 2014. To better monitor the implementation of the "opening-up" scheme to provide eligible outside bodies greater access to the clubs' facilities under the renewed PRLs, the Committee urges the Home Affairs Bureau to expeditiously: LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 12 February 2014 6133 (1) come up with detailed guidelines to help private clubs report the scheme usage in their quarterly reports; and (2) set up a proper mechanism to verify the reported usage of the clubs' sports facilities by eligible outside bodies. In order to ensure the proper and effective use of the PRL sites, the Committee also urges the Home Affairs Bureau and the Lands Department to: (1) clearly define the scope and responsibility between them in conducting inspections on the PRL sites and to formulate plans on how such inspections should be conducted on a routine basis; and (2) draw up a set of assessment guidelines to ensure that only a reasonable proportion of the land on the PRL sites will be used for social and ancillary facilities. President, I would like to declare my interest. I am a member of a number of those clubs that have been mentioned above and this has been reported in the Committee meetings and in the Report. The second subject I will briefly report is the management of roadside skips. The Committee expresses alarm and strong resentment, and finds it unacceptable that although relevant trade associations and relevant government departments were generally in support of introducing a permit system to regulate and facilitate skip operations back in 2007 to address the various problems caused by roadside skips, the proposed permit system was eventually not taken forward. The Lands Department considered the placing of roadside skips a road management issue, whilst the Transport Department considered it a land issue. Unfortunately, such shuffling of responsibility had relegated the management of roadside skips as a non-issue at the expense of public safety. The Committee considers that the Transport Department should take the lead to introduce a permit system for regulating and facilitating skip operations, as roadside skips cause obstruction and pose safety risks to road users, and it is the policy purview of the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Transport Department to ensure smooth vehicular traffic and road safety.

    (Translated Version) For information on LanDAC TTSC Paper No. 06/2015 5 March 2015 Lantau Development and Advisory Committee Traffic and Transport Subcommittee Traffic Restrictions and the Closed Road Permit Arrangements in South Lantau PURPOSE This paper aims to invite Members’ views on the proposed review of the closed roads arrangement in Lantau and the issuance of Lantau Closed Road Permits (“LCRPs”). BACKGROUND 2. At the meeting of the Traffic and Transport Subcommittee of the Lantau Development Advisory Committee held in October 2014, Members noted that the current closed road arrangements in Lantau was put in place based on the planning intention of preserving South Lantau as a natural conservation area. They considered that the closed road arrangement would hinder the development of green tourism and local economy in Lantau. In his Policy Address delivered in January this year, the Chief Executive announced that the Government would roll out in full swing a review of the closed road arrangements in Lantau and the issuance of LRCPs to support its short term economic and social development. RESTRICTIONS ON THE CURRENT LCRPs ISSUANCE AND THEIR USAGE 3. Currently, to cater for the public needs to enter the Lantau closed road area, 1 (Translated Version) motorists may apply to the Transport Department (“TD”) for the LCRPs1. There are two types of LCRPs: long-term permits and temporary permits. Long-term LCRPs are generally issued to residents/people doing business in South Lantau for a period of 12 months in the first instance. Holders may apply to the TD’s Licensing Offices for permit renewal upon expiry.
