The Hong Kong Girl Guides Association

Hong Kong Land Supply Seminar

(Note: Event to be conducted in Cantonese)

 

Background and Objective

As a Guiding Member, we need to be attentive to the environment around us, as well as to speak out for the issues that we are concerned about our society, so as to become responsible world citizens. 

 

Land shortage has been plaguing Hong Kong in recent years. The society at large is suffering from multi-faceted problems with "pricy", "tiny" and "cramped" living conditions, characterised by soaring property prices and rents; the difficulties in purchasing the first home; and all sorts of problems associated with overcrowded living space, inadequate community facilities, and high business operating costs. Insufficient land for housing, economic and other purposes has become one of the major issues of great concern to the public.  Therefore, the Task Force on Land Supply under the Development Bureau of HKSAR Government organizes public engagement activities to provide opportunities for public to know and express their opinions.

 

As a matter of that, HKGGA has been invited by Task Force on Land Supply to organize a seminar, to allow Girl Guide Members to learn about the options that the Government proposed, as well as giving a chance to express your views.

 

With a group people of same belief, they could create a huge power!  Get your Guiding Sisters together to be the change agent.  Your action will impact the community and create a world that we want to see!

*The Task Force on Land Supply, comprising 22 non-official and eight official members appointed by the Chief Executive, was established in September 2017 for a term of one and a half years from September 2017 to February 2019. The Task Force is made up of members from various professional disciplines and sectors, including planning, engineering, architecture, surveying, environment, academia, think tanks, social services, housing development and district administration. Duties of the Task Force include reviewing the sources of land supply and evaluating land supply options. It has also launched a public engagement exercise to engage the community in discussions on the pros and cons of different options and their priorities. The objective of the Task Force is to achieve the broadest consensus and draw up a broad framework of recommendations on the overall land supply strategy and a prioritisation of different land supply options for submission to the Government, based on the opinions collected in the public engagement exercise.
