我們至今收到超過500份回覆，以下是初步結果:
  Now we know why the Innovation and Technology Bureau objected to the community proposal for a sports pitch near the Arcade (Newsletter Nov 2017)! The Financial Secretary has set aside HK$5.5billion in his 2019 Budget to expand Cyberport’s facilities: “I will earmark $5.5 billion for the development of Cyberport 5. This will serve to attract more quality technology companies and start-ups to set up their offices in Cyberport and provide a pathway for young people to pursue a career in I&T. The expansion project is expected to provide about 66 000 square metres of floor area, and include facilities such as offices, co-working space, conference venues and data service platforms. We will proceed with the statutory town planning procedures with a view to commencing construction in 2021 for completion in 2024 at the earliest.” This is a significant increase. The existing Cyberport 1 - 4 is 92,000 square metres. The plan received shows that Cyberport 5 will be located in front of the Cyberport Arcade. News reports show the site as 1.6 hectare and a proposed building height of 11 storeys. The hotel is 13 storeys. In Cyberport’s press release (click here) it is promised that “Cyberport will carry out a series of work to improve the environment and facilities of the existing waterfront park.” I have asked Cyberport to release detailed plans for public consultation soon. What do you think? Do you support or object to the plans, or want more information first? Should government use the expansion to also resolve previous requests from residents (see below). Should anything else be dealt with? 我們於2017年11月的薄扶林報告中，提到創新及科技局以希望預留土地擴建數碼港為由，反對於海濱公園興建球場，今日謎底終於解開。 財政司司長於今日的財政預算案中宣佈：「我會預留五十五億元用作發展數碼港第五期，以吸納更多具實力的科技公司和初創企業進駐，也為年輕人提供投身創科界的途徑。擴建項目預計可提供約六萬六千平方米樓面面積，以及包括辦公室、共用工作間、會議場地及數據服務平台等設施。我們會着手進行法定城市規劃程序，以期項目可以在二零二一年動工，預計最快於二零二四年竣工。」 擴建規模頗大，現在數碼港 1至4 座總樓面面積為九萬二千平方米。我們收到的資料顯示數碼港五座選址為商場前方的公園部份，建築物前面將預留空間設置海濱長廊。 綜合多份新聞報導，數碼港五座將佔地1.6公頃，樓高11層（艾美酒店為樓高13層）。 數碼港於新聞稿中提到：「數碼港亦會進行一系列改善工程優化現行海濱公園的環境及設施。」 我們已聯絡數碼港，希望他們能盡快發放擴建計劃的詳情，以便進行公眾諮詢。 你對擴建計劃有什麼意見？政府應否藉今次機會落實過往多年來居民的訴求？趁着擴建計劃，政府應否落實過往多年來居民的訴求？你又希望政府及數碼港一併改善哪些設施？ Requests from residents put to Cyberport in the past |

我反對薄扶林分區計劃大綱圖中的修訂（A項及B項），理由如下：
• 雖然最近的建築物距離貝沙灣最少300米，但是房屋署未能提供最終設計及顏色配搭等資料，以確保建築物能融入附近翠綠的景觀及減低對數碼港道居民現有景觀造成影響。
• 為減低對居民現有景觀造成影響，房署應該降低華富北及華景街的樓宇高度。
• 都會規劃小組委員會文件5/17 顯示華富原址重建後，樓宇高度將會大幅增加，我們對此表示強烈反對。房署需提供具體及全面的計劃確保原址重建後的樓宇高度不會比現時的為高。
• 房署應該將位於域多利道聖保羅書院小學附近新建築物的平台縮入，確保道路及行人路光線充足及保持開揚感覺。
• 當局需為發展項目提供足夠的商用車輛泊車位，避免車輛沿違域多利道例泊停車泊。請注意有最少兩個臨時停車場因重建計劃而需要關閉，而區內的商用車輛泊車位一直供不應求。
• 房署未有提供全面的計劃交代重建後的行人網絡，及如何將行人路接駁至現有的天然行山徑。署方需要改善行人網絡令區內居民能更容易及直接地接觸大自然。
• 房署於都會規劃小組委員會文件5/17中交代的薄扶林道／域多利道路口改善工程力度不足，難以應付長遠的交通需求。路口附近的土地用途為「道路」，我們必須趁機會進行重大改善工程，不能等到飽和時先再作考慮。
• 政府至今還未有交代南港島線（西段）及北港島線的前期工作及通車時間表，於這個情況下提出修訂分區計劃大綱圖是不負責任。
Dear Chairman and Members
I object to the proposed amendments (items A and B) to the Pok Fu Lam Outline Zoning Plan for the following reasons:
- The Housing Department has failed to demonstrate that - although the nearest buildings are over 300m away - the final disposition of the buildings and colour scheme ensure it blends in with the mountain backdrop, and ensures sight lines are maintained for residents along Cyberport Road.
- The height of the buildings planned for Wah Fu North and Wah King Street should be reviewed to reduce the visual impact for existing residents.
- The absence of a comprehensive plan committing to a staggered building heights not taller than the existing buildings. We strongly object to an increase in building height within the original Wah Fu site (as indicated in the MPC paper 5/17).
- The development along Victoria Road near St. Paul’s College Primary School creates a canyon effect and the podia on both side should be set back.
- The development should include parking for trucks and coaches used by residents – so they are no longer park on nearby roads. Note also that existing temporary car parks will disappear and that there is a territorial shortfall of parking facilities for larger vehicles.
- The proposed development lacks a comprehensive plan for footways through the area including to and from nature trails. The development of the site should enhance the ability of the community to enjoy the surrounding vegetated areas.
- The proposal lacks a commitment to upgrading the junction of Victoria Road/ Pok Fu Lam Road. A major upgrade to cope with the additional traffic, as opposed to the upgrade being proposed in the MPC paper 5/17, should be committed to. Note that the land for this has been reserved on the outline zoning plan. Waiting for future traffic to reach capacity is foolish - we should plan ahead.
- A commitment is needed from Government to a program for the planning and implementation of South Island Line (West) and the North Island Line prior to approval of any increase in development.

A revised outline zoning plan for Pokfulam has been gazetted for comments by the Town Planning Board. The changes to the plan are limited to those required to accommodate the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate by the Housing Authority. Over the last 12 months government has adjusted the plans in response to comments from residents – including our concerns over the efficiency of the junction of Victoria Road and Pokfulam Road. Government also agreed with us on rejecting proposals to use of the valley directly opposite Bel-Air Phase 4-6.
城市規劃委員會宣佈修訂薄扶林分區計劃大綱圖，現正讓市民提供書面意見。今次修訂只針對華富邨重建計劃的相關變動。過往12個月，房屋署多次修改重建計劃以回應各方訴求，包括我們非常關注的薄扶林道／域多利道路口之負荷能力。同時，署方與我們一同反對動用貝沙灣四至六期對出的谷地作重建用途。
Some 8,900 new units will be completed around 2025-2027. These will be used to decant the old estate prior to redevelopment. The Southern District Council has urged the government to continue to consult the community and to speed up planning for South Island Line (West).
預期新興建的8900伙將於2025-2027年落成。這些單位將用於安置現時華富邨的居民，以便拆卸及重建華富邨。南區區議會已促請政府要繼續傾聽居民的意見及盡快進行南港島線（西段）的前期工作。

The Housing Authority has revised their plans and reduced the development area by 30% to 13 hectares. The number of units is maintained at 8,900 by increasing the height. The target completion date is 2025. The junction of Victoria Road and Pokfulam Road will be upgraded. The revised plans will reduce the traffic impact of the new development for this junction. However, we will continue to pressure for a grade separated junction design. And we are asking for solutions for the shortage of parking facilities for goods vehicles, and a timetable for the South Island (West) MTR line. These plans will be discussed in the District Council next week.
房屋署修改了華富邨重建計劃，將總發展範圍由原方案縮減近三成至13公頃，透過增加建築物高度以維持8900伙。重建計劃最早一期將於2025年落成。當局會改善薄扶林道及域多利道交界的路口設計。而修訂方案亦會變相減少該路口的額外交通流。話雖如此，我們會繼續向政府施壓要求將路口設計由單層改為雙層、增加商用車輛的泊車設施及提供南港島線（西段）的通車時間表。區議會將於下星期討論華富邨重建計劃。

The Housing Authority advised this week that a revised master plan for Wah Fu and the extension up the hill towards Chi Fu will be made available in June. They are taking into account concerns expressed by the community. The intention is to update the Pokfulam Outline Zoning Plan before the end of 2017. In the meantime we will ask the Transport and Housing Bureau to redesign the Pok Fu Lam Road/Victoria Road junction to cope with the future increased traffic flow. We will keep you posted with updates when available.

The Housing Authority has released new information on their plans for the Wah Fu Estate redevelopment. They have reduced the footprint near Chi Fu. 8,900 units will be built on five sites. Residents from Wah Fu will be transferred to the new sites so that the old estate can be redeveloped starting 2024. I have raised questions over the capacity of the Pok Fu Lam Road/ Victoria Road junction, the timing of the new MTR, and requested better visuals so that Pokfulam residents can better understand the impacts.

For ringelmann chart, you may refer to: http://www.mardep.gov.hk/en/publication/pdf/darksmoke.pdf
To be a smoky vessel spotter, we suggest the following:
- If you see a vessel emitting pretty dark smoke (darker than shade 2) continuously, grab your phone/video camera and record a video of it for more than 3 minutes
- If the dark smoke is non-stop in the video for over 3 minutes, call Marine Department 2385 2791 (24 hours hotline) immediately to report the location, direction and type of vessel. They should send a patrol boat to identify it. You may wish to tell them you have a 3 minute plus video.
- Please let us know too, info@paulzimmerman.hk or 9096-3070. We can help chasing the Marine Department for follow up actions.
- Marine Department’s email address is mi1ohps1@mardep.gov.hk , you may send them the link (dropbox, youtube, etc) of the video. But they prefer you make the report by phonecall first as they can send a patrol right away.
- Should Marine Department proceed with the investigation, you may be invited to provide a statement, this could be done in their Aberdeen Office.

Thank you for participating in our survey on the use of the vacant site at Sandy Bay.
The 1,032 responses showing a 98% support for recreational uses of the site helped curtail the CEDD on 21 March 2016 in the District Council.
The District Council’s decision was to support the long-term use of the site by HKU for recreational uses.
However, as HKU has yet to formalize its applications CEDD will be granted the use of the site for a maximum of 2 years (instead of the 4 applied for).
The CEDD will use the site to support the installation of 26 lifts (universal access) at various footbridges. It was argued that their land application was received well before HKU submitted an expression of interest. It was noted that associated traffic will be limited. CEDD was urged to take every possible mitigation measure, and avoid community complaints over the use.
My office will remind HKU that it is now important that they firm up their land allocation application, including obtaining policy support from the Education Bureau.
The District Council has asked for a review of the use of the site in 21 months.
感謝大家早前參與我們的網上意見調查。
我們共收到1,032份回應，當中調查結果顯示超過98％受訪者支持香港大學申請使用該空地作為戶外歷奇教育及水上活動中心。
南區區議會於2016年3月21日討論此議題時備悉社區的意見。議會支持港大將該空地用作康樂用途的長遠建議。由於港大尚未提供具體計劃內容，土木工程拓展署將會獲批使用該處作為26 項「人人暢道通行」設施工程的臨時工地，為期兩年（原先署方申請使用四年）。
署方指出他們於港大提出意向前已向地政署申請用地，而他們預計工地不會為社區帶來重大的交通影響。區議會已亦促請署方研究及採取所有措施避免工地的運作影響社區及居住環境。
我們已提醒港大盡快確定體育中心的計劃並爭取教育局的支持。
南區區議會將於21個月後再次檢討空地的用途。
