Mr LAI Wai-hung, Mr LEUNG Ming-kin and Mr SHUM Ho-kit, JP were absent due to other commitments. Item I: Confirmation of the minutes of the sixth DFMC meeting in 2018 3. The Chairman concluded that Members unanimously confirmed the above minutes. Item II: Matters arising: Proposed facilities for the Redevelopment of Tung Tau Industrial Area Playground after review (DFMC Paper No. 1/2019) 4. The Chairman said Members had discussed the proposed facilities for the Redevelopment of Tung Tau Industrial Area Playground after review at the DFMC meeting 3 on 2 November 2018. At that time, they did not endorse the proposed provision of car parking spaces by the Transport Department (“TD”) under the redevelopment project and urged the TD to prepare and submit various detailed designs for the public car park to the DFMC for consideration. The TD’s revised proposal on public car parking spaces was submitted to seek Members’ views again. 5. In addition to permanent departmental representatives, the Chairman welcomed the following persons to the meeting: Leisure and Cultural Services Department Chief Executive Officer (Planning)2 Ms CHEUNG Yuk-shan, Linda Transport Department Senior Engineer/Special Duties Mr YEUNG Shiu-wing, Chris 6. Mr Chris YEUNG briefed Members on the paper. 7. Members’ views were summarised as follows: (1) In general, Members supported the construction of an underground car park under the redevelopment of Tung Tau Industrial Area Playground to ease inadequate car parking spaces in Yuen Long and meet the parking needs of venue users; (2) According to the proposal on public car parking spaces by the TD, 20 light goods vehicle (“LGV”) parking spaces and 50 medium/heavy goods vehicle parking spaces would be provided. However, Members pointed out that overall there was a stronger demand for LGV parking spaces in the district. They suggested an adjustment in the ratio of the parking spaces of the two kinds of vehicles so that more LGV parking spaces would be provided; (3) Currently, there were several sites zoned “Residential (Group E)” pending redevelopment at Tung Tau Industrial Area. In view of that, some Members suggested the TD request the Town Planning Board (“TPB”) to include terms requiring private developers to provide adequate mixed parking spaces when granting approval to redevelopment projects, saying that this would address the shortage of car parking spaces in the district; (4) Some Members raised concerns on the high cost of providing an underground car park at Tung Tau Industrial Area Playground and its ineffectiveness in alleviating the scarcity of parking spaces and illegal 4 parking in Yuen Long Town. To address these problems, they suggested that the TD construct multi-storey car parks in Yuen Long Town Centre; (5) As Tung Tau Industrial Area had progressively developed into a commercial and residential area, Members supported an increase in the number of private car parking spaces, in line with local development. They also suggested that a flexible ratio of different types of parking spaces be maintained so that the public car park could cater to changing needs in the district after its completion; (6) Members hoped the TD would refer to the duty visit report by the YLDC delegation to Tokyo in Japan and consider constructing an automated underground multi-storey car park at Tung Tau Industrial Area Playground. The TD could introduce automated car parks in Yuen Long on a pilot basis and gradually extend the facility to other districts to increase the overall parking spaces in Hong Kong; (7) Some Members hoped the construction period and the closure time could be shortened as much as possible. They also urged relevant departments to keep close contact with residents of surrounding housing estates and stakeholders to minimise the impacts on venue users and nearby residents; (8) As quite many large vehicles were parked at the roadside at Tung Tau Industrial Area, some Members supported a number of parking spaces in the car park be reserved for goods vehicles to reduce the impacts of roadside parking of large vehicles on road users; (9) Some Members enquired whether the TD would provide the preliminary estimated cost of the works project. They also suggested the department report the latest progress of the works project, including information on feasibility study and traffic impact assessments, to the DFMC in due course; and (10) According to the Outline Zoning Plan, Tung Tau Industrial Area Playground was zoned as Open Space. Members enquired with the TD on whether an application would be made to the TPB for planning permission for a public car park. If so, they were concerned that any revision in the ratio in different types of parking spaces would require complicated procedures in the future. 5 8. Mr Chris YEUNG gave a consolidated reply as follows: (1) Having taken on-site inspections to review the demand for goods vehicle parking spaces at Tung Tau Industrial Area and considered the impacts of roadside parking of large vehicles on residents, the TD proposed reserving certain parking spaces for goods vehicles in the car park to meet the parking demand in the district; (2) The exact number of public parking spaces would be based on the technical feasibility study and the detailed design.

    Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups Introduction 3.1 LCSD manages 13 performing arts venues. Based on the design, roles and functions of the facilities, they can be classified into two broad categories: Purpose-built performing arts venues with sophisticated technical facilities capable of accommodating major and technically demanding programmes from the international touring circuit as well as established local performing arts groups, and attracting patrons from wide catchment areas. Some of these facilities are multi-purpose in design, and may be adapted for different types of events such as concerts, theatrical and multi-arts performances. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong City Hall, Kwai Tsing Theatre, Sha Tin Town Hall, Tsuen Wan Town Hall, Tuen Mun Town Hall and Yuen Long Theatre fall under this category. Among these venues, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Hong Kong City Hall are territory-wide facilities patronized by local citizens as well as international visitors while the Kwai Tsing Theatre, which is most sophistically equipped for theatrical productions, is capable of housing technically demanding programmes and is attracting audience from all over Hong Kong. - 43 - Moderately-equipped venues capable of accommodating small to medium-scale performances and activities including those organized by the community. The Ko Shan Theatre, Sheung Wan Civic Centre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre, Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre, North District Town Hall and Tai Po Civic Centre fall under this category. Except for the Ko Shan Theatre, all other venues under this category are located in joint-user buildings with other municipal, sports, school or social welfare uses.

  • Recreation, Sport and the Arts
    367 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong is well known for its hard- working people, but it is not an all-work- no-play city. People spend time in a wide variety of recreational, sport and cultural activities, ranging from ‘tai chi’ to yoga, football to rugby, and international arts festivals to home-grown performances. Hong Kong offers many opportunities for people to unwind. Recreation, sport and the arts provide an opportunity for people in Hong Kong to improve their quality of life. The Government helps to nurture an environment in which creative freedom, a pluralist approach to the development of the arts, sporting excellence and recreation can thrive. Government policies on matters concerning sport, recreation, culture and heritage are coordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Hong Kong Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Sports Institute, the former Culture and Heritage Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited was set up as a delivery agent to help develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high- performance sports. In January 2005, the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports Committee, the Major Sports Events Committee and the Community Sports Committee which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The new advisory structure is a milestone for sports development in Hong Kong. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides leisure and cultural services to the community, preserves its cultural heritage, beautifies its physical environment, and fosters synergy among sports, cultural and community organisations.
