  • Brief Introduction on the Work of the Sai Kung District Office
    For Sai Kung District Council Meeting on 8 March 2016 SKDC(M) Paper No. 20/16 Information Paper Brief Introduction on the Work of the Sai Kung District Office This paper aims at providing a brief introduction to the new term of the Sai Kung District Council (SKDC) on the main areas of work of the Sai Kung District Office (SKDO) in facilitating district administration. (I) Coordinating the District Work of Government Departments 2. Good district administration relies on government departments performing their respective roles. For district affairs that involve inter-departmental purview and functions, close discussion and cooperation among a number of departments are often required. Regarding various issues that call for inter-departmental cooperation, the SKDO has been serving as a bridge between departments, striving to coordinate various departments in their work and service within Sai Kung. Regular and timely joint operations are also coordinated to combat illegally parked bicycles, illegal recycling activities on the street, illegally placed transit skips, etc. 3. In 2016-17, the Home Affairs Department (HAD) will implement the District-led Actions Scheme in all 18 districts to address district issues based on the local situation. Under the supervision of the District Officer, the District Management Committees (DMC) will lead departments to solve local problems that require more attention. After taking into account the actual needs of the district as well as the opinions collected from the SKDC, the SKDO will decide on the specific details and the implementation arrangements of the Scheme and coordinate with the relevant departments. SKDC Members are welcomed to provide comments on the direction of the Scheme.
