(After the summoning bell had been rung, a number of Members entered the Chamber) TABLING OF PAPERS The following papers were laid on the table under Rule 21(2) of the Rules of Procedure: Subsidiary Legislation/Instrument L.N. No. Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance (Amendment of Schedule 1) Notice 2011.................................... 101/2011 Other Papers Report No. 25/10-11 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments Report of the Bills Committee on Dutiable Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2011 Report of the Bills Committee on Motor Vehicles (First Registration Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2011 Report of the Bills Committee on Residential Care Homes (Persons with Disabilities) Bill ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. First question. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 June 2011 11825 Regulation of Overhanging Advertisement Signboards Outside Buildings 1. MR IP KWOK-HIM (in Cantonese): President, at present, in districts where private buildings are in great numbers, such as Wan Chai and Mong Kok, and so on, the advertisement signboards overhanging outside quite a number of buildings are huge in size and they are as high as the buildings. In many cases, the signboards are only owned by some households or even one particular household in the building concerned. However, under the existing legislation, erecting overhanging signboards outside buildings is not subject to regulation by the Deed of Mutual Covenant (DMC), nor does it require the approval of the owners' corporations (OCs). The Buildings Department (BD), which is responsible for vetting and approving applications for erecting such signboards, stresses that in vetting and approving such applications, it only takes into account whether the signboards will affect the structural safety of the buildings. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether, at present, there are avenues or government departments which can effectively prevent the erection of overhanging signboards outside buildings without the consent of other owners of the buildings; if so, of the details; (b) whether it has considered amending the existing legislation to address the above situation, so as to safeguard the rights of other owners of the buildings; if it has, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; and (c) given that while the aforesaid signboards are only owned by individual households, the owners of the entire buildings concerned have to collectively bear the removal costs in the event that the signboards are found to be illegal and have to be removed, and the OCs concerned can only resort to civil litigation to recover the removal costs from owners who are not willing to pay such costs, whether the Government has examined if there are ways to change such a situation; what assistance government departments can provide in respect of such disputes? 11826 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 June 2011 SECRETARY FOR DEVELOPMENT (in Cantonese): President, as the question raised by Mr IP Kwok-him involves problems of building safety and management, the Secretary for Home Affairs and I will jointly answer questions from Members. Any person who carries out buildings works, including erection of signboards, in the common part of a private building shall ensure that the relevant works comply with the requirements under all the current statutory provisions and the legal documents applicable to that common part. The Buildings Ordinance (Cap. 123) (BO), administered by the BD, aims to regulate the planning, design and construction of buildings and building works, and prescribes the standards regarding structural and fire safety of buildings in order to safeguard the safety of the public. Erection of signboards on external walls of buildings is a kind of building works which shall be regulated under the BO. In this respect, the BD has issued a practice note to specify the display area, spacing, position, material and structural safety standards of the signboards erected on external walls of buildings. On the other hand, a DMC demarcates the rights, benefits and responsibilities, and so on, amongst property owners. The administration of a DMC rests with the parties to the contract and the Government is not a party to the contract. If a person intends to construct or hang a signboard on an external wall, he should carefully peruse the relevant land lease and DMC to ensure that there will not be any contravention of the relevant provisions. If queries are encountered, he should seek legal advice. Whether the erection of a signboard in the common part of a building will be governed by the DMC depends on the provisions in the DMC concerned. Therefore, I need to point out that the situation that "overhanging signboards outside buildings is not subject to regulation by the DMC" as mentioned in the question could not be concluded in an indiscriminate manner. Section 14(2) of the BO stipulates that neither the approval of any plans nor the consent to the commencement of any building works from the Building Authority shall be deemed: (a) to confer any title to land; (b) to act as a waiver of any term in any lease or licence; or (c) to grant any exemption from or to permit any contravention of any of the provisions of the BO or of any other enactment.

  • One-Off Grant to the Hospital Authority for Minor Works Projects Report On
    LC Paper No. PWSC101/19-20(01) One-off Grant to the Hospital Authority for Minor Works Projects Report on 2018-19 and Forecast for 2020-21 To provide sufficient resources and to allow greater flexibility for the Hospital Authority (HA) to plan and implement more intensive programmes to improve the condition and environment of HA’s ageing facilities and enhance their service capacity to complement other major new hospital or hospital renovation projects, the Legislative Council (LegCo) Finance Committee approved on 20 December 2013 a one-off grant of $13 billion under the Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF) Head 708 Subhead 8083MM to HA for minor works projects for use in the next ten years or so starting from 2014-15. Each individual item is subject to a financial ceiling of $75 million. 2. Since April 2014, the one-off grant under Subhead 8083MM has replaced the block allocation to HA through CWRF Head 708 Subhead 8100MX – “Hospital Authority – improvement works, feasibility studies, investigations and pre-contract consultancy services for building projects” until the one-off grant under Subhead 8083MM is depleted. Projects funded under Subhead 8083MM can be broadly grouped into “Facility Rejuvenation”, “Capacity Enhancement”, “Safe Engineering”, “Universal Accessibility” and “Others”, which are for regular maintenance, minor works or preparatory works for major capital works projects. 3. To ensure transparency and accountability on the use of the one-off grant, HA is required to deposit with the LegCo Secretariat annually a full list of all items proposed to be funded by the one-off grant in the following financial year.
