Consolidation Forum to present findings of the Envisioning Stage of HER

The Sub-committee on Wan Chai Development Phase II Review (Sub-committee) of the Harbour-front Enhancement Committee (HEC) will convene an "Envisioning Stage - Consolidation Forum" in mid-November to conclude the Envisioning Stage of the "Harbour-front Enhancement Review – Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Adjoining Areas" (HER).

"The purpose of the forum is to share with the public the comments and proposals received during the public engagement activities of the Envisioning Stage for HER held from May to July, 2005. Opportunities will be taken to involve the public in consolidating these views before proceeding with the preparation of the Concept Plans for the development and enhancement of the harbour-front of Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and the adjoining areas," the sub-committee's chairman, Mr Leung Kong-yui, said.

The public will be further engaged in evaluating the Concept Plans to arrive at consensus in the next stage of HER, the Realisation Stage.

The consolidation forum will be held on Saturday, November 12 from 2pm to 5pm at the Surveyors Learning Centre of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors at Suite 811, Jardine House, 1 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong.

Members of the public and interested parties are invited to attend the forum. Pre-registration for attendance at the consolidation forum is highly recommended. Enquiries can be made at 2231 4408 or via email [address: bpchan@cedd.gov.hk] or fax number 2576 9792.
