While we support an increase in public housing, there are significant concerns over the planning for the extension of Wah Fu. We have consolidated the comments and created an online petition to the Town Planning Board.
原則上我們支持增加公共房屋供應量，但是我們關注今次修訂的具體細節。我們將已收到的意見整合成為一份致城市規劃委員會的網上聯署信，方便大家簽名表達訴求。

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 junction of Victoria Road/ Pok Fu Lam Road needs a major upgrade to cope with the additional traffic.
薄扶林道／域多利道路口需要進行重大改善工程以應付額外交通流。 - Government needs to commence the planning of South Island Line (West) ASAP.
政府需要馬上進行南港島線（西段）的前期工作。 - The development along Victoria Road near St. Paul’s should be set back to avoid a canyon effect.
將位於域多利道聖保羅書院小學附近的新建築物位置向後移，確保光線充足及保持開揚感覺。 - Although the nearest buildings are over 300m away, we want a say over the final design and colour scheme of the buildings to ensure they blend in with the mountain backdrop.
雖然最近的建築物距離貝沙灣最少300米，但是我們仍然希望能對最終設計及顏色配搭發表意見，以確保建築物能融入附近翠綠的景觀。
- The height of the buildings at Wah Fu North, Wah King Street and the existing Wah Fu Estate site should be reviewed to reduce the visual impact for existing residents.
為減低對區內居民現有的景觀造成影響，當局應該降低華富北、華景街、華樂徑及華富邨的樓宇高度。

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.
房屋署今個星期向南區區議員透露他們正在因應收到的意見而修改華富邨重建發展計劃，預計會於年中前發佈詳細重建方案，並於年底前遞交上城規會以便修改薄扶林分區計劃大綱圖。我們會去信運房局要求局方重新設計薄扶林道及域多利道交界的路口以應付額外的交通流。我們會繼續向大家匯報最新進展。

華富邨重建計劃通訊文件 - 2016年9月
[24/9/2016]
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.
房屋署公布了華富邨重建發展概念圖及相關資訊，他們打算縮減置富花園旁邊用地的發展面積，五幅用地的總建屋量將維持8,900個單位，作華富邨重建戶搬遷所用。2024年落成後，華富邨原址將正式展開重建。我已向署方提出多個問題：薄扶林道／域多利道路口的負荷量、新鐵路落成時間表、景觀問題等等。
