The representation considers that the buildings in the two places are both private buildings and subsidised owner-occupied buildings which are similar in nature. They are connected by Shing Kai Road and so there are certain ties between them; and transfer the buildings next to Jubilant Place, stretching from the east of Pau Chung Street to Grand Waterfront in G03 (Ma Hang Chung) to G02 (Sung Wong Toi). These buildings have all along been part of G03 (Ma Hang Chung), but in fact, are separated from other parts of G03 (Ma Hang Chung) by the gas production plant and the former Animal Quarantine Depot and slaughterhouse (currently known as the Cattle Depot Artist Village).
