Phase 1 Public Engagement on the Proposed Establishment of a Harbourfront Authority
 
Victoria Harbour is the icon of the city and the most precious public asset of Hong Kong.  It is our vision to enhance the Victoria Harbour and its harbourfront areas to become an attractive, vibrant, accessible and sustainable world-class asset : a harbour for the people and a harbour of vitality.
 
The Harbourfront Commission (HC) believes that the establishment of a dedicated Harbourfront Authority to take forward harbourfront enhancement from planning, design and construction to operation and management will be the key to achieving our vision for the harbourfront.

The Development Bureau (DevB) and the Harbourfront Commission will undertake a 2-phase Public Engagement Exercise to listen to your views on the best institutional setup to develop and manage the new harbourfront sites in a holistic manner.  Your views will be duly considered in working out a mainstream model and detailed framework for further discussion in the Phase 2 Public Engagement Exercise.

The Phase 1 Public Engagement exercise was launched on 4 October 2013 and will last for three months until 4 January 2014.  The Harbourfront Commission looks forward to receiving your comments and suggestions. For full details, please visit the public engagement dedicated website at http://www.hfc.org.hk/hape/en/home/index.html

The Commission sincerely invites you to attend the Public Forum listed below.  To register, please email at hape@hfc.org.hk and include your name, organization/institution and an email address (if different from the one sending us the email).  Due to limited capacity, seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

If you have any enquiries, please call 3509 8809 to liaise with the Secretariat of the Harbourfront Commission.
