AECOM Asia Company Ltd

Resident Engineer Mr CHOW Man-chung

8. Mr Franklin TSE of the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) briefly introduced the paper.

11. The Chairperson thanked the representatives of WSD and AECOM Asia Company Ltd for attending the meeting.

12. The Committee noted the above paper.

(Representatives of WSD and AECOM Asia Company Ltd left the meeting.)

Item 4: Major Traffic Improvement Works in Wan Chai District and the Schedules – Transport Department/Highways Department (DPTC Paper No. 40/2017)

13. Mr Tony C N CHEUNG of HyD briefly introduced the paper.

14. Ms Peggy LEE would like to follow up on the works progress of the retrofitting of barrier-free access facilities at Tai Yuen Street and Cross Street, as these locations were used by a lot of wheelchair users.

15. Mr Tony C N CHEUNG of HyD said that the department was making financial arrangements related to the above works. It was estimated that the works progress could be reported at the next meeting.

16. Ms FUNG Shuk-yan of TD said that the department had already conducted site inspections at the above locations after receiving Ms Peggy LEE’s comments, and had referred the case to HyD for follow-up in February 2017.

17. Ms Peggy LEE expressed that it had been more than four months since

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 4 - Action she raised the comments, and she considered the above replies from departments concerned unacceptable. She hoped that the departments could cater for the needs of wheelchair users by implementing the retrofitting works as soon as possible.

18. Ms FUNG Shuk-yan of TD said that HyD had to follow an established procedure in handling the suggestion, and she learnt that HyD had to deal with the underground facilities at the above locations before the commencement of works.

19. Mr Tony C N CHEUNG of HyD said that the department had immediately sent their staff to undertake a field study after receiving Ms Peggy LEE’s email referred from TD in April 2017. While the retrofitting of barrier-free facilities at the above locations involved private lots, relocation of underground facilities and street-level facilities as well as other issues, additional time would be required to conduct an investigation and to liaise with the owners and public utilities concerned. He expected that the works would be commenced shortly and completed by the end of 2017 if it went smooth. HyD had also liaised with the owners and organisations concerned, and urged the contractor to carry out the works in phases, with a view to completing the works in advance.

20. The Chairperson asked the departments concerned to maintain timely communication with Ms Peggy LEE in order to keep her informed of the works progress.

21. The Committee noted the above paper.

Item 5: Action Checklist of the DPTC of the WCDC (DPTC Paper No. 55/2017)

(Ms Jacqueline CHUNG and the Co-opted Member Ms LAU Pui-shan joined the meeting at 3:05 p.m.)

(Mr CHENG Ki-kin left the meeting at 4:25 p.m.)

(Mr Ivan WONG joined the meeting at 4:25 p.m.)

Item 8: Provision of Covers on Walkways (DPTC Paper No. 45/2017)

64. The Chairperson welcomed the following representatives to the meeting:

TD Senior Engineer/Covered Walkway Mr Charles HO Engineer/Covered Walkway Mr Kenneth LEE

HyD

Senior Engineer/CWY2 Mr TSANG Hin-man

65. Mr Kenneth LEE of TD introduced the three alignments proposed by Members.

66. The Chairperson said that he had discussed with some Members on this agenda item prior to the meeting, and was aware that quite a number of Members considered that the first preferred alignment proposal should be proposal 1, the walkway in the peripheral area of Victoria Park on Causeway Road.

67. While expressing support for proposal 1, a Member also requested the departments concerned to explain about the arrangement of the bus stops nearby during the retrofitting of covers on walkways and how the underground obstructions identified in proposal 1 would be removed.

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 11 - Action 68. Ms Jacqueline CHUNG opined that by making reference to the information provided by HyD, CEDD and the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) on proposal 1 and proposal 2 (the road section between Eastern Hospital Road near the Cultural Centre of Hong Kong Buddhist Association and Moreton Terrace Bus Terminus) set out in Annex 2, provision of covers for the two proposals were of comparable feasibility. However, the Committee had passed a motion in support of choosing proposal 2 in a previous meeting. While she did not object to making proposal 1 the first preferred alignment proposal, she opined that the departments should respect the Committee’s views and strongly demanded the departments to continue to study the feasibility of providing covers for proposal 2.

69. The Chairperson asked the departments to consider Ms Jacqueline CHUNG’s comments.

70. Mr TSANG Hin-man of HyD said that if the Committee agreed at this meeting that proposal 1 would be the first preferred alignment proposal for Wan Chai District, HyD would conduct a field study at Causeway Road by working with TD and the bus companies, so as to avoid causing adverse visual impact.

71. Miss Clarisse YEUNG had a neutral stance on both proposals. She further said that since the roads in Wan Chai District were rather narrow, the proposals available for Members’ consideration were limited. While she understood that this project was implemented following the recommendation of the 2016 Policy Address, it would be more flexible if each DC could decide on its own the use of the funds and provide facilities that could better cater for the needs of the local residents.

72. Ms Jacqueline CHUNG did not share the view of Miss Clarisse YEUNG. She said that if the Government allowed each DC to determine the use of the funds, Members might need more time for discussion before deciding on the proposed project.

73. A Member asked the departments to take into account the surrounding environment in designing the covers on walkways, in order to avoid the incompatibility between the covers and the environment nearby.

74. The Chairperson asked the Secretary to supplement the motion related to proposal 2 mentioned by Ms Jacqueline CHUNG.

75. The Secretary said that the Committee had discussed the agenda item “To Request Actions to Improve Transport Service to and fro Tung Wah Eastern Hospital – Changing Bus Route No. 5B to Circular Route and Providing a Cover on the Walkway at Eastern Hospital Road” at its 7th meeting held on 13 December 2016. The ten Members present at the meeting, including the Chairperson, the Vice-chairperson, Ms Peggy LEE, Miss Clarisse YEUNG, Ms Jacqueline CHUNG, Mr CHENG Ki-kin, Mr Joey LEE, Ms Yolanda NG, Ms

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 12 - Action CHING Lei-yuen and Ms LAU Pui-shan, unanimously endorsed the two motions moved by Ms Jacqueline CHUNG, which were “To Urge the Transport Department to Work with Citybus to Consider Changing Bus Route No. 5B to Circular Route for the Convenience of the General Public” and “To Request the Relevant Department to Consider Including the Walkway at Eastern Hospital Road into the Project for the Provision of Covers on Walkways for the Convenience of the General Public Going between Tung Wah Eastern Hospital and the Downtown of Causeway Bay”.

76. Mr Kenneth LEE said that according to the 2016 Policy Address, DC could propose three proposals for preliminary consideration by the departments, and determine the priorities of the proposals. The consulting engineer engaged by the departments would study the feasibility of the first preferred alignment proposal. The alignment proposal would be developed if it was technically feasible, if not, the second preferred proposal would be studied, and so forth. Such practice was arranged to save time by avoiding the need to re-consult DC.

77. The Vice-chairperson expressed that the departments had not provided any detailed explanation about the difficulties to be encountered in providing covers for the walkways for the two proposals for the Committee’s consideration until this meeting. He pointed out that the government departments should prepare sufficient information before the meeting if they were planning to consult DC.

78. After discussion, the Committee agreed that the first preferred alignment proposal for “Provision of Covers on Walkways” in Wan Chai District should be proposal 1, the walkway in the peripheral area of Victoria Park on Causeway Road, followed by proposal 2, the road section between Eastern Hospital Road near the Cultural Centre of Hong Kong Buddhist Association and Moreton Terrace Bus Terminus.

79. The Chairperson hoped that the departments could carry out a study on proposal 1 as soon as possible, and then move on to study proposal 2 at the earliest time possible if proposal 1 was found to be technically infeasible.

80. Ms Yolanda NG agreed with the Chairperson’s decision, and added that owing to the policy concerned, Members supported choosing proposal 1 with greater demand and higher feasibility. However, this did not mean that the Committee revoked the motion passed earlier.

81. The Chairperson thanked the representatives of TD and HyD for attending the meeting.

(Representatives of TD and HyD left the meeting.)

(The Co-opted Members Ms LAU Pui-shan and Ms Gigi WONG left the

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 13 - Action meeting at 5:00 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. respectively.)

Item 9: Report on the Progress of Matters Arising of the DPTC of the WCDC (DPTC Paper No. 44/2017)

82. The Chairperson welcomed the following representatives to the meeting:

MTR Corporation Limited (MTRC) Assistant Public Relations Manager - Ms Dorothy LAU External Affairs Building & Architectural Engineering Mr Philip LEUNG Manager

Hong Kong Police Force Police Community Relations Officer Mr LAM Kin-tat (Eastern District) Officer-in-charge District Traffic Team Mr KUK Wai-kei

(Eastern District)

83. Ms Dorothy LAU of MTR Corporation Limited briefed Members on “Installation of Vertical Platform Lift and Escalators at Tin Hau Station” with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation.

84. Members raised the following comments and enquiries: i. They welcomed MTRC’s new project; ii. They enquired whether the installation of vertical platform lift and escalators would affect the other users in using the station exits; iii. They enquired about the feasibility of installing a lift at Tin Hau Station; iv. They asked whether MTRC would consider providing additional entrances/exits at Tin Hau Station in the long run; v. They enquired about the locations of the escalators; and vi. They opined that in addition to wheelchair users, MTRC should also open the vertical platform lift for use by other persons in need, in order to avoid wastage of resources.

85. Mr Philip LEUNG of MTR Corporation Limited responded as follows: i. It would be difficult to install a lift at Tin Hau Station to connect the station concourse with street level as it involved ownership problems; ii. The total maximum load for the vertical platform lift is 500 kg, and the loading limit is approximately equivalent to a wheelchair and a person, or four to five persons; and iii. Vertical platform lift was mainly provided for wheelchair users.

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 14 - Action They could contact station staff for assistance.

86. Ms Dorothy LAU responded as follows: i. MTRC was planning to install two escalators to connect the station concourse with mid-level platform, and an escalator to connect the mid-level platform with Entrance/Exit A1 on street level; and ii. The stair lift service at Entrance/Exit A1 on street level would be suspended during the works period. Nevertheless, MTRC would arrange for the wheelchair aid for wheelchair users.

87. Miss Clarisse YEUNG raised the following comments and enquiries: i. While expressing appreciation for the intention of the above project, she considered the ramp design of the stair lift rather indirect and hence inconvenient for wheelchair users; ii. Since the stair lift had to be operated with the assistance of station staff, it might exert certain psychological stress on the wheelchair users; and iii. She enquired why a lift could not be installed at Exit B.

88. Ms Dorothy LAU responded as follows: i. MTRC was now studying the feasibility of allowing wheelchair users to operate by themselves the vertical platform lift using common keys; ii. In addition to wheelchair users, other persons in need such as the elderly could also contact station staff for assistance in using vertical platform lift; and iii. MTRC was currently discussing with the relevant government departments on the feasibility of installing a vertical platform lift of 8 metres in height without the provision of a ramp in order to bring extra convenience to the users.

89. The Chairperson thanked the representatives of MTRC for attending the meeting, and asked them to report to the Committee on the latest works progress in due course.

(Representatives of MTRC left the meeting.)

90. Members raised the following comments and requests concerning the “Action Checklist of District Issues”: i. Miss Clarisse YEUNG requested the departments concerned to provide the full Traffic Impact Assessment Report for Leighton Road and Tree Preservation and Removal Proposal in respect of ““The Demolition of Existing Superstructures at Caroline Hill Road Site, Causeway Bay” under PWP Item No. 794CL”, and the information about altering the land use for commercial use; ii. Miss Clarisse YEUNG requested the Agriculture, Fisheries and

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 15 - Action Conservation Department (AFCD) to provide the investigation results of the suspected case of illegal tree-felling at 4-4C Tai Hang Road; iii. Ms Peggy LEE would like to follow up on the tree removal and compensatory planting arrangements at Hopewell Centre II and Ship Street/Kennedy Road Park, and requested the Planning Department (PlanD), the Lands Department (LandsD) and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) to provide relevant information; and iv. The Vice-chairperson requested TD to respond when the provision of four morning trips for Route No. 511 could be resumed.

91. Members raised the following comments and enquiries on the “Checklist of Illegal Parking Blackspots”: i. Ms Yolanda NG mentioned that the signage at the taxi stand at East Point Road was obstructed by trees. She hoped that TD could adjust the height of the signage; ii. A Member hoped that the Police could take rigorous enforcement action against illegal parking problem in Tin Hau constituency, including the vicinity of 42-60 Tin Hau Temple Road, the road section along Wing Hing Street to Park Towers, Ngan Mok Street, Lau Li Street as well as Whitfield Road; iii. Another Member asked the Police to explain about the discrepancy between the information on illegal parking under item 8 of the “Action Checklist of District Issues” concerning “The vicinity of 42-60 Tin Hau Temple Road (including Electric Road and Ngan Mok Street)” and the information on illegal parking under item 46 of the “Checklist of Illegal Parking Blackspots” concerning “42-60 Tin Hau Temple Road”; and iv. The Chairperson hoped that the Police could step up inspection and enforcement actions along 1-141 Queen’s Road East, and pay special attention to the illegal parking problem at the above location during 12nn-3pm.

92. Mr Henry LEUNG of HKPF was aware of Members’ concerns over the traffic problem in the district. The Police had deployed additional manpower to conduct enforcement actions at various illegal parking blackspots in the district with a view to relieving the traffic, and safeguarding the safety of road users.

93. Mr LAM Kin-tat of HKPF explained that the information on illegal parking under item 8 of the “Action Checklist of District Issues” was a summary of information of the area around 42-60 Tin Hau Temple Road (including Electric Road and Ngan Mok Street), whereas item 46 of the “Checklist of Illegal Parking Blackspots” contained only the information on illegal parking at 42-60 Tin Hau Temple Road. Since the scope of information covered by the two checklists was different, the statistics on illegal parking also

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 16 - Action differed. Besides, the Police had been issuing penalty tickets in accordance with established procedures with a view to ensuring the safety of road users. Take the Eastern District as an example. The Police had issued about 42 000 penalty tickets during January to May 2017, which was 33% higher than the same period of last year with an average of about 31 500 tickets. Apart from the Police’s inspection and enforcement actions, relevant government departments should also work together to tackle the road safety issues.

94. The Chairperson understood the resource constraints faced by the Police, but she also hoped that the Police could strengthen its enforcement actions to clamp down on illegal parking. She then asked LCSD to report at the next meeting the compensatory planting arrangement at Hopewell Centre II and Ship Street/Kennedy Road Park. She also asked the Architectural Services Department to submit the report concerning Caroline Hill Road to Miss Clarisse YEUNG and the Committee for perusal, as well as asked PlanD to update the relevant planning information.

95. Ms FUNG Shuk-yan of TD noted Ms Yolanda NG’s comment, and would follow up on the condition of the signage concerned after the meeting.

96. Mr Steven CHAN of TD said that the department was now considering the proposal submitted by the bus company regarding Route No. 511. He hoped that the bus company could expeditiously increase the number of morning trips from three to four during peak hours.

97. Members raised the following comments and enquiries regarding the “Checklist of Noise Pollution Blackspots”: i. Ms Peggy LEE recognised the need to provide open space in the district for public use, but the worsening noise problem at the sitting-out area next to Wu Chung House at night had affected the residents nearby. She would like to know the procedures required for making amendments to the opening hours of the sitting-out area next to Wu Chung House; ii. Ms Yolanda NG pointed out that since the creation of the “Checklist of Noise Pollution Blackspots” by the Committee, the noise problem of Causeway Bay at night had already improved. She considered the noise problem of Tower 535 in March and April very serious, and enquired why activities causing noise problem were not found at the scene when the Police arrived, from which three complaints had been received. She also expressed concerns over the noise problem at SOGO department store, 42-43 Sun Chun Street as well as the shops at the ground level of Lei Ha Court, and requested the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) to report on the latest situation and to provide the results of the investigation; and iii. A Member raised concern over the frequent noise nuisance arising from the pubs in Tin Hau constituency at night, and enquired whether the departments concerned had any penalties on

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 17 - Action pubs that repeatedly violated the regulations, and could lead to a failure in their renewal of licences.

98. Miss Josephine LO of PlanD said that the Notes of Wan Chai Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) had stipulated that an area of public open space not less than 1 160 square metres (the existing sitting-out area next to Wu Chung House) had to be provided on the land within Wu Chung House. While the opening hours were not specified, the land lease required that the sitting-out area open round the clock. From the aspect of planning, as long as the sitting-out area was open for public use during reasonable periods, it would be in compliance with the statutory requirements of OZP.

99. Ms Peggy CHAN of LandsD said that as the land lease required that the park be open round the clock, the management company should also arrange for manpower to patrol the park. She would also contact the management company of Wu Chung House after the meeting to deliberate on the solutions.

100. Mr Alan YU of EPD said that the department had pursued in March 2017 an investigation into the suspected case of carrying out construction works at night by SOGO department store. While EPD had to conduct interviews with and take statements from three to four persons in charge of the works contractor and workers concerned in order to collect evidence for investigation, it had failed to make contact with the workers. Therefore, the case was still under investigation, and EPD was actively following up on the issue. Besides, noise problem was not identified when EPD carried out inspection at the pubs in Tin Hau constituency. If the pubs did not close the doors and windows during specified periods at night, say after 11:00p.m., they might breach the relevant liquor licensing conditions. EPD staff would refer such cases spotted during the inspection, if any, to the Liquor Licensing Board (LLB) for follow-up. Any past record of non-compliance of pubs would be taken into account by LLB in handling the applications for renewal of licences and might have an impact on the applications.

101. The Chairperson asked Members to note the replies from departments.

(Post-meeting note: According to the information from the Eastern Police District, a total of 26 190 penalty tickets had been issued between January and May 2016.)

Written Questions Item 10: To Urge the Departments Concerned to Face Up to the Worsening Illegal Parking Problem in the Vicinity of Victoria Park Constituency (DPTC Paper No. 42/2017)

102. Mr LAM Kin-tat of HKPF briefly introduced the written reply from the

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 18 - Action Police.

103. A Member opined that the illegal parking problem in the vicinity of Victoria Park constituency was worsening, and vehicles were found to perform loading/unloading of goods at the carriageway of the industrial area in the vicinity of Watson Road and caused obstruction of traffic. It was hoped that the Police could step up its enforcement actions.

104. Mr LAM Kin-tat of HKPF said that while some vehicles had genuine need for loading/unloading of goods, the Police might not be able to issue penalty tickets against all vehicles for doing so. He hoped that relevant government departments and DC Members could work with the Police to address the illegal parking problem. He added that the vehicle growth had greatly exceeded the increase in road surface area over the past decade. The Police had already strengthened enforcement to maintain smooth traffic flow as far as practicable.

105. Ms FUNG Shuk-yan of TD said that the department would take note of the traffic flow of the above location and provide assistance in addressing the issues mentioned by Members.

106. The Chairperson asked TD to provide assistance as far as possible, and conduct timely site inspection to the illegal parking blackspots in the district with Members.

107. A Member suggested TD designate a restriction zone and clearway restrictions at Ngan Mok Street, so as to restrict vehicles from stopping in the area concerned.

108. Ms Jacqueline CHUNG opined that though the number of penalty tickets issued this year was already higher than that of last year, the illegal parking problem in the district remained serious. She hoped that the Police could make its best efforts to work out a solution with a view to addressing the structural problems, and ensuring road safety and smooth traffic.

109. The Vice-chairperson and Ms Yolanda NG considered the representatives of Wan Chai Police District more sincere than those of Eastern Police District in the efforts to resolve the problem.

110. The Chairperson thanked the representatives of the Police for attending the meeting, and asked the Police to continue to follow up on the worsening illegal parking problem in the vicinity of Victoria Park constituency. She also asked Members to note the replies from departments.

(Mr LAM Kin-tat and Mr KUK Wai-kei of HKPF left the meeting.)

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 19 - Action Item 11: Concern over the Sighting of Critically Endangered Parrots in the Green Belt at 4-4C Tai Hang Road (DPTC Paper No. 43/2017)

111. The Chairperson welcomed Miss Chole NG, Nature Conservation Officer (HK) of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department to the meeting.

112. The Vice-chairperson raised the following enquiries: i. He asked AFCD to explain about the scope, time and findings of the survey conducted in April 2017 at the green belt at 4-4C Tai Hang Road concerning the critically endangered parrots at the above site; ii. He enquired if the peripheral area of the green belt at 4-4C Tai Hang Road was covered within the scope of survey; and iii. He enquired whether the proposed works at 4-4C Tai Hang Road would exert any impact on yellow-crested cockatoo.

113. Miss Chole NG of AFCD said that the department had carried out a site inspection to 4-4C Tai Hang Road in April 2017, but no yellow-crested cockatoo were found at the scene, and indications showing the possible inhabiting or breeding of the species were not identified either. She added that only the locations affected by the planning application were covered within the scope of the above survey.

114. The Vice-chairperson recalled that AFCD had also conducted a survey on yellow-crested cockatoo in 2011. He enquired if there were any discrepancy between the findings of the two surveys.

115. Miss Chole NG of AFCD said that the survey on yellow-crested cockatoo conducted in 2011 was a targeted survey which aimed at monitoring their habitat at night, whereas the site inspection conducted in April 2017 was carried out during the day time. Since yellow-crested cockatoo could be found over an extensive area, sighting of the species in the area around 4-4C Tai Hang Road was not surprising at all. AFCD could consider conducting an inspection in the peripheral area of the above site whenever necessary.

116. The Chairperson thanked Miss Chole NG for attending the meeting.

(Miss Chole NG of AFCD left the meeting.)

Item 12: To Urge the Authorities Concerned to Strengthen the Monitoring and Management of the Health Conditions of Trees in Wan Chai District (DPTC Paper No. 51/2017)

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 20 - Action 117. The Chairperson welcomed the following representatives to the meeting:

Lands Administration Office, Lands Department Ch Land Ex/LVCM2/Land & Vegetation Ms MOK Vivianne Contract Management Section

Leisure and Cultural Services Department District Leisure Manager (Wan Chai) Miss Becky LEE Leisure Manager (Tree) Hong Kong East Mr Allan CHAN

Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department Country Parks Officer (HK) Dr James LUK

HyD

Landscape Architect/ VM(HKC&W) Mr Isaac SO

118. Ms Peggy LEE said that a tree collapsed in Southorn constituency on 3 June 2017. With the assistance of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), it was found out that the tree was under the purview of the Drainage Services Department. She thanked LCSD for its assistance and raised the following comments and enquiries: i. She enquired which department the Members could contact for assistance in addressing the tree problems of the district; ii. She opined that the relevant departments should inform the DC Members of the constituency concerned before planning for tree felling; iii. She asked whether HyD could submit a report to the Committee every six months after its regular inspection of the trees; and iv. She enquired of HyD about its frequency of maintenance and caring of trees not managed by designated government departments and planted on unleased and unallocated government land.

119. Dr Anna TANG raised the following comments and enquiries: i. She enquired which department was responsible for the co-ordination of tree management issues; ii. She asked how the general public could gain access to the information on old trees; iii. She had noticed that about 30 trees of the district were lost in five years, and hoped that the departments concerned could make an accurate estimation of the number of trees lost in the district; and iv. She thanked LCSD for following up all the way on the trees infected by diseases at the Morrison Hill Road Playground.

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 21 - Action 120. Ms Yolanda NG raised the following comments and enquiries: i. The reply from the Development Bureau (DEVB) had not consolidated the information of various departments. She hoped that the Bureau could provide the distribution map of trees in the district and information on the health conditions of trees; ii. She opined that the liaison mechanism on the tree problem between the departments and DC should be improved; iii. She reckoned that departments should strengthen the promotion of knowledge in preservation of trees; and iv. She enquired whether the relevant departments had conducted any inter-departmental meeting in view of the local tree problems.

121. Miss Becky LEE of LCSD briefly introduced the department’s written reply. Besides, she supplemented that LCSD had set up an inventory of trees for recording the trees maintained by LCSD, and for removing trees and carrying out compensatory planting in accordance with the established procedure of DEVB. LCSD would keep Members informed of the latest information on tree removal and compensatory planting at the District Works and Facilities Management Committee in due course, maintain a close liaison with Members as well as notify the DC Members of the constituency concerned of any tree removal cases.

122. Mr Isaac SO of HyD briefly introduced the department’s written reply. He also said that HyD had been maintaining communication with Members, for instance, HyD had informed the DC Members of the constituency concerned early this year in writing the identification of three trees infected with Brown Root Rot Disease.

123. Dr James LUK of AFCD and Ms MOK Vivianne of Lands Administration Office of LandsD also briefly introduced their departments’ written replies respectively.

124. Miss Clarisse YEUNG raised the following comments: i. She considered that co-ordination of the tree management issue was the unshirkable responsibility of DEVB. She would like to write to DEVB in the name of DPTC to request the submission of a written reply on the overall policy for tree management and maintenance; ii. She questioned whether the government departments had sent arborists to monitor on-site the procedures of tree removal and maintenance works conducted by the contractor, in order to avoid excessive pruning of trees which would lead to infection; and iii. She enquired how the Government would monitor and address the tree problems on private land.

125. A Member thanked the departments concerned for their efforts devoted

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 22 - Action to the tree management issues. It was also hoped that a record of the trees could be provided, such that Members could contact the responsible department for follow-up actions where necessary.

126. Ms Jacqueline CHUNG expressed dissatisfaction that DEVB did not send any representative to the meeting. She opined that the Wan Chai District Office (WCDO) should be responsible for the co-ordination of the record of trees, such that Members could identify the responsible department whenever necessary to safeguard public safety.

127. Ms Yolanda NG opined that the Chairperson, Vice-chairperson and all other Members should be equitably notified of the information on infected trees by the departments concerned.

128. Miss Amy WONG of WCDO said that while WCDO was not a professional department handling tree management issues, it was not in a position to co-ordinate the record of trees in the district. She agreed to write to DEVB in the name of DPTC to request the submission of an inter-departmental record of trees. She also shared Members’ comments that the relevant departments should inform the DC Members of the constituency concerned as appropriate before taking any actions concerning the trees. WCDO would be pleased to offer assistance to Members if they had to liaise with the relevant departments on tree problems.

129. The Chairperson agreed to write to DEVB in the name of DPTC to request the submission of an inter-departmental record of trees. Moreover, she reckoned that DEVB could organise activities on tree management, including the setting up of activity groups on tree protection, recruitment of tree protection ambassadors as well as organisation of courses on tree management, in order to raise the public awareness about tree protection.

130. The Chairperson thanked the representatives of government departments for attending the meeting, and asked Members to note the written replies from the departments.

(Ms MOK Vivianne of Lands Administration Office of the LandsD, Miss Becky LEE and Mr Allan CHAN of LCSD, Dr James LUK of AFCD as well as Mr Isaac SO of HyD left the meeting.)

(Post-meeting note: The Secretariat had written to DEVB at the Committee’s request on 13 June 2017 to request the submission of an inter-departmental record of trees in Wan Chai District. DEVB had also replied the Committee on 3 July 2017 in writing with the enclosure “Tree Register of Wan Chai District”. The Secretariat had submitted the above document to Members for perusal by circulation of papers.)

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 23 - Action Item 13: Concern over the Wastage of Land Resources Arising from the Prolonged Vacant Wesley Village Cottage Area and Hostel (DPTC Paper No. 52/2017)

131. The Chairperson welcomed Ms Dawn NG, Estate Surveyor/Causeway Bay of Lands Administration Office of the LandsD to the meeting.

132. The Vice-chairperson raised the following comments and enquiries: i. He enquired about the lease term and rent of the short-term tenancy; ii. He enquired about the costs to be paid for the maintenance of slope within the cottage area by the non-profit-making organisations applying for the use of the hostel; iii. He pointed out that even though the non-profit-making organisations were interested in renting Wesley Village cottage area and hostel for the organisation of community activities, they might not be able to afford the expensive repair and maintenance costs of the slope. He questioned whether it was reasonable for the non-profit-making organisations to be responsible for such costs; and iv. LandsD had been responsible for the follow-up of the conditions of Wesley Village cottage area and hostel since 2005. He queried if the hostel and slope within Wesley Village cottage area were safe.

133. Ms Peggy CHAN of LandsD responded as follows: i. The lease term of short-term tenancy would normally be three years, and the rent would vary having regard to the support from various government bureaux; ii. Any non-profit-making organisations renting Wesley Village cottage area and hostel would be responsible for the repair and maintenance of slope within the cottage area under the “user pays” principle. The rent was not related to the repair and maintenance costs of the slope; and iii. LandsD had not received at this stage any enquiry by the Vice-chairperson into the current status of the hostel and slope within Wesley Village cottage area.

134. Ms Dawn NG of LandsD said that the repair and maintenance work of Wesley Village cottage area and hostel was shared among the technical staff of CEDD, HyD and LandsD. She could provide supplementary information after the meeting.

135. Ms Yolanda NG thanked the Vice-chairperson for raising this written question, which provided an opportunity for Members to discuss about the vacant land and facilities in the district. Take Jao Tsung-I Academy as an example. She indicated that as long as the organiser rented a government land

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 24 - Action outside slope areas, it should not be responsible for the repair and maintenance of slope. She hoped that the Government could consider granting exemption for organisers on the responsibility of the repair and maintenance of slope having regard to the actual rental area.

136. Miss Clarisse YEUNG suggested LandsD make reference to the practice of PlanD to provide information on vacant school premises to interested organisations for perusal and application for the organisation of community activities. She opined that LandsD should proactively invite applications from organisations for the use of Wesley Village cottage area and hostel, review and handle the hiring policy concerned with flexibility as well as provide timely rental information to the community, in order to avoid wastage of resources. She added that Hong Kong Arts Development Council had provided assistance to the public in searching for vacant school premises for organising arts activities. Together with the Signature Project Scheme of Tai Po District “Establishment of an Arts Centre by Retrofitting Tai Po Government Secondary School”, it was proven that there was a demand for vacant school premises in the community.

137. The Vice-chairperson hoped that LandsD could take into account the above comments in reviewing the current rental policy of Wesley Village cottage area and hostel, and to conduct regular repair and inspection at the site above to ascertain the structural safety of the hostel, whether it was occupied by tenants or not .

138. The Chairperson said that more than 30 vacant sites in the district had been discussed in the last DC term, and two of them were already under development. She expressed that since vacant sites were precious community resources, LandsD had to co-operate with other government departments to encourage the organisations in need to rent Wesley Village cottage area and hostel.

139. Ms Yolanda NG said that LandsD had been providing to DC the information on the vacant sites in the district, which was not exhaustive. She hoped that LandsD could consolidate the relevant information to encourage art groups and members of the public to make use of the sites. Furthermore, she hoped that the Signature Project Scheme could be implemented as soon as possible in Wan Chai District.

140. Another Member hoped that LandsD could provide information on the area of various vacant sites in the district.

141. Ms Dawn NG of LandsD pointed out that while no organisations had applied for the use of Wesley Village cottage area and hostel in the past decade or so, it should be further considered whether it would be worthwhile to pursue for the hostel an inspection of its structural safety if this would incur more public money.

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 25 - Action

142. A Member opined that LandsD should regularly deploy personnel to carry out repair and inspection work at Wesley Village cottage area and hostel, and to report on the background of the site above at the next meeting.

143. Ms Yolanda NG shared the view that LandsD should regularly send staff to carry out repair and inspection work at Wesley Village cottage area and hostel so as to ensure the safety of the site above. She supplemented that the Housing Department had also been sending staff to regularly inspect the conditions of the Home Ownership Scheme units in Yau Tong which were yet to be sold for some reason.

144. Another Member expressed that while a large amount of money had to be spent before the hostel could be put into use in view of its safety and current conditions, it might be considered not worthwhile to do so. Prolonged vacant premises without sustained repair and maintenance work, however, might cause adverse impact on their physical appearance and create hygiene problem. He opined that LandsD should explore ways to deal with the land use planning, and consider whether or not to demolish the hostel.

145. Miss Clarisse YEUNG mentioned that the science fiction “Wisely Series” written by the renowned Hong Kong writer NI Kuang was also related to Wesley Village. She reminded LandsD to take note of the cultural significance of Wesley Village, and to handle the maintenance issue with due consideration.

146. In her concluding remarks, the Chairperson asked the representative of LandsD to take Members’ comments into consideration, and to report to Members on the position of tenancy of Wesley Village cottage area and hostel over the past 12 years at the next meeting. In addition, she also asked LandsD to provide to the Committee the detailed information on various vacant sites in the district after the meeting.

147. The Chairperson thanked Ms Dawn NG for attending the meeting.

(Ms Dawn NG of LandsD left the meeting.)

(Post-meeting note: LandsD had submitted the information “Temporary Vacant Government Sites Available for Greening/Community Uses Within Wan Chai District Council Boundary (as at 31 March 2017)” after the meeting. The Secretariat had submitted the above document to Members for perusal on 28 June 2017 by circulation of papers. Please refer to DPTC Paper No. 70/2017 for details.)

5th term_dptc_min_10_e_revised by EO(DC)3 - 26 - Action Item 14: Any Other Business Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay Redevelopment Project

148. The Vice-chairperson requested to discuss the planning application “Proposed Office, Shop and Services and Eating Place at 8 Leighton Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong” (Application No.: A/H7/172). Since the time limit for submitting comment to the Town Planning Board in respect of the application would expire on 16 June 2017, the Chairperson approved after discussion by the Committee that the 3rd special meeting would be convened on 13 June 2017 to deliberate on the issue.

Date of Next Meeting

149. The next meeting would be held at 2:30 p.m. on 27 July 2017 (Thursday).
