ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. In accordance with rule 9A of the House Rules, the time taken by each oral question should not exceed 22 minutes in total. After a Member has asked a main question and the relevant public officer has replied, the Member who asks the question has priority to ask the first supplementary question. Other Members who wish to ask supplementary questions may indicate their wish by pressing the "Request to speak" button and wait for their turn. Members may raise only one question in asking supplementary questions. These questions should be as concise as possible so that more Members can ask supplementary questions. Members should not make arguments when asking supplementary questions. PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): First question 8 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 9 October 2013 Review of Use of Military Sites 1. MR FREDERICK FUNG (in Cantonese): It has been reported that military sites in Hong Kong have a total area of 2 700 hectares and some of them are not actually put to any military uses, and have even been left idle for a long time. It has been learnt that the Shek Kong airfield as a military site has a low utilization rate but lands in its periphery are subject to building height restrictions to avoid obstruction to the landing or taking off of military aircraft, resulting in the lands not being put to optimal use. There are also comments that certain military sites situated in the urban areas are suitable for public use such as public housing construction, and so on. Meanwhile, Article 13 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Garrisoning of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region provides that "any land used by the Hong Kong Garrison for military purposes, when approved by the Central People's Government to be no longer needed for defence purposes, shall be turned over without compensation to the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for disposal", and "if the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region needs for public use any part of the land used for military purposes by the Hong Kong Garrison, it shall seek approval of the Central People's Government; where approval is obtained, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall make reprovision of land and military facilities for the Hong Kong Garrison at such sites as agreed to by the Central People's Government, and shall bear all the expenses and costs entailed". In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the distribution of military sites and their respective areas; whether it knows the utilization rates of the military sites, and the use of those situated in urban areas and reportedly left idle for a long time (for example, the Kowloon East Barracks and the Gun Club Hill Barracks); (b) whether the authorities will consider discussing with the Hong Kong Garrison the optimization of the flight paths of the airspace in the vicinity of the Shek Kong airfield so that the building height restrictions on the lands nearby can be relaxed to enable more effective use of such lands; if not, of the reasons for that; and (c) whether the authorities will raise with the Central People's Government the turning over to the SAR Government without LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 9 October 2013 9 compensation those military sites left idle for a long time, with low utilization rates and suitable for public use, or the reprovisioning of those military sites at alternative sites; if not, of the reasons for that? SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Cantonese): President, I have consulted the Development Bureau and my reply is as follows: (a) Article 14 of the Basic Law provides that the Central People's Government (CPG) shall be responsible for the defence of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

    WORKING PAPER No. 30 BROADBRUSH ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARISON of DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper delving into different views and analyses from various sources. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER No. 30 BROADBRUSH ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARISON OF DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS Purpose 1. This paper provides the broad-brush environmental comparison of the development options formulated under the Reference Scenario of the HK2030 Study and an overview of the environmental issues related to the options. It should be noted that the current assessment is part of the staged Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the HK2030 Study and there are still uncertainties as regards many of the current results. Reference Scenario and development options 2. The Reference Scenario has been developed under the HK2030 Study illustrating the key planning assumptions as well as land use and infrastructure requirements, based on which the long-term spatial development patterns would be formulated and assessed. Under the Reference Scenario, a population of 9.2 million and an employment of 4.0 million by 2030 have been assumed (a summary of the key planning assumptions is at Annex A). 3. With the forecasted demand, various planning choices, including intensification of existing and planned development areas as well as identification of new growth areas, are devised to accommodate the additional demand for various land uses. After that, an Initial Scoping Exercise has been conducted to identify the more realistic and practical development options by examining the key considerations of various planning choices.
