CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY (Question Serial No. 0915) Head: (159) Government Secretariat: Development Bureau (Works Branch) Subhead (No. & title): (000) Operational Expenses Programme: (3) Greening, Landscape and Tree Management Controlling Officer: Permanent Secretary for Development (Works) (LAM Sai-hung) Director of Bureau: Secretary for Development Question: What is the staff establishment of the Tree Management Office (TMO)? How many policies have been launched since its establishment? What is the benchmark for assessing tree conditions? What are the performance indicators of the departments’ work? What is the amount of resources involved in the relevant work in the past 3 years? According to the existing mechanism, trees in different locations are managed by the departments managing the corresponding locations, which is bits and pieces in implementation. How can the TMO assist various departments in handling their trees? How many cases were referred by various departments to the TMO for handling in the past 3 years and what were the resources and manpower involved? Asked by: Hon CHAN Han-pan (LegCo internal reference no.: 39) Reply: In 2020-21, the Tree Management Office (TMO) of the Development Bureau (DEVB) comprises 30 civil service posts. In the past 3 years, we have rolled out a number of measures that advocate the adoption of a professional approach to tree management among tree management departments and in the community at large. Measures include: assisting the Arboriculture and Horticulture Industry Training Advisory Committee in developing a qualifications framework; releasing the Manual on the Management of Brown Root Rot Disease for practical and sustainable management of the disease; enhancing tree risk assessment requirements, including tightening of the qualification and experience requirements of inspection officers and strengthening of the technical requirements of risk assessment to better protect public safety; piloting the use of several smart technologies to complement tree management work at different stages; establishing a dedicated Tree Risk Inspection Squad to strengthen tree audits and site patrols in 18 districts; establishing the Arboriculture and Horticulture Industry Development Advisory Session 17 DEVB(W) - Page 1 Committee to engage stakeholders to advise the Government on matters related to the development and manpower supply and demand of the industry; rolling out a registration system for tree management personnel; and launching the Urban Forestry Support Fund supporting the Study Sponsorship Scheme, Trainee Programme, biennial International Urban Forestry Conference, and public education and promotion activities on the “People • Trees • Harmony” campaign.

  • Appendix 13.2
    Expansion of Hong Kong International Airport into a Three-Runway System Environmental Impact Assessment Report Appendix 13.2 Population Biology of the Hong Kong/Pearl River Estuary Population of the Chinese White Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ): Literature Review 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. There are sixteen confirmed cetacean species in Hong Kong waters (Jefferson & Hung, 2007) and in March 2009, a Humpback whale was also reported in Hong Kong, which increased the number of recorded species to 17. There have also been two unconfirmed additional species, both baleen whales, in Hong Kong waters. 1.2. Although other cetaceans, including the Bottlenose Dolphin and False Killer Whale, have been previously noted in Hong Kong waters, these sightings are likely to be transient or extralimital records and only two species of cetaceans, the Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) or Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ) and the Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides ) are resident. 1.3. There appears to be only a limited overlap in the distribution of the CWD and Finless Porpoise in local Hong Kong waters, as the CWD tends to be predominantly distributed in the western waters, whereas the Finless Porpoise is usually recorded in areas further to the south and east of Hong Kong. The southwestern coast of Lantau around Fan Lau and the Soko Islands represent the only areas in Hong Kong where both species are commonly seen (Parsons et al ., 1995; Jefferson, 2000; Jefferson et al ., 2002). 1.4. As such, only the CWD has been consistently reported within the proposed study area of the extension of the existing Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and the third runway (3RS Project), comprising the area from Tuen Mun to the southwest of the existing airport platform.

  • 1 Introduction
    Agreement No. CE 80/2001 (DS) Mott Connell Ltd Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel Environmental Impact Assessment 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Drainage Services Department (DSD) completed the “Stormwater Drainage Master Plan (DMP) Study in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi” in July 1999. In that Study it was identified that the drainage systems in Tsing Yi could meet the current flood protection standard in general, but not the drainage systems in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung. A series of drainage improvement works including the “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel” (The Project) and the “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Urban Drainage Improvement Works” were proposed, and subsequently DSD commissioned a Preliminary Project Feasibility Study (PPFS) for “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Package A, Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel” which was completed in April 2000. The PPFS concluded that the construction of a tunnel of an internal diameter of 6.5m and length 5.35km should be implemented to alleviate the flooding risk in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung. At the end of October 2002, Mott Connell Limited (MCL) was commissioned by the Drainage Services Department under Agreement No. CE 80/2001 (DS) to carry out the investigation and preliminary design for the “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel” (The Project). The primary objective of the Project is to develop an optimum preliminary design of the proposed tunnel and associated drainage structures based on the recommendations of the Preliminary Project Feasibility Study Report (PPFS), the Stormwater Drainage Master Plan Study in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi (DMP) and the results of the various investigations to be carried out under this Assignment.

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher.
