HKU - Extension to 3 Sassoon Road 香港大學 - 沙宣道三號擴建計劃

30/6/2021

Further to our report on 18 May 2021, a community meeting was held on 3 June 2021. Leadership of HKU's Faculty of Medicine and HKU’s project team presented the extension plans to surrounding residents. Long lists of issues including site selection, traffic, environmental and visual impacts were raised. HKU has promised to provide a written response soon.

Residents are upset with potentially losing yet another green site in Pok Fu Lam – with the Housing Department developing green belt sites near Wah Fu, Cyberport grabbing part of the waterfront park, and HKU seeking a virgin green belt site. A key question is whether HKU really needs a new site, or whether they can redevelop an existing property or develop more suitable locations for laboratories and training facilities.

就我們早前報導的香港大學擴建計劃，港大醫學院的管理層及項目團隊於6月3日與居民會面，簡介項目詳情。會上居民提出多條問題，包括項目選址及所帶來的交通、環境和景觀影響等。港大表示會盡快提供書面回覆。

區內多幅綠化地段先後被用作發展用途：房屋署於華富邨附近徵用多幅綠化地帶（Green Belt）興建公共房屋，數碼港使用部分海濱公園用地作擴建用途，加上現在港大計劃於綠化地帶擴建醫學院，居民均強烈表示反對。就此港大需回應多個問題：他們是否真的需要另覓新地？還是可以重建他們的現有物業？抑或可選取其他較合適的位置用作擴建實驗室及教學大樓用途？

Support A continuous waterfront for Pok Fu Lam 支持於薄扶林打造連貫的海濱

30/6/2021

[Update on 30/6/2021]

The Town Planning Board (TPB) reviewed our three applications seeking to commit land owners and government to a continuous high quality waterfront in Pokfulam. Over 1000 supporting signatures and submissions were received. There were 7 objections, including one from Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited.

While not supporting the applications for technical reasons, TPB members supported the promotion of an attractive and vibrant waterfront in Pok Fu Lam. They considered that relevant government departments should take the lead in enhancing waterfront connectivity. They agreed to request the Development Bureau to explore linking up the coastal area so as to enhance pedestrian connectivity. TPB members also agreed to opening the landing steps to the public and its integration (of the pier area) with the future design of the Park. This will be relayed to Cyberport.

城市規劃委員會（城規會）最近開會討論我們三份有關「促使政府及土地業權人能致力於薄扶林打造一條高質素及連貫的海濱長廊」的規劃申請。城規會秘書處收到過千份支持的意見書，反對的則有七份，其中一份來自香港數碼港管理有限公司。

雖然城規會基於技術理由沒有接納我們的規劃申請，但是有城規會委員支持推廣薄扶林海濱長廊。他們認為相關政府部門應牽頭改善海濱長廊的連貫性，並同意要求發展局研究如何連接區內多處的海濱地段。另外，他們認同海濱公園的登岸梯級應開放給予公眾使用，並將碼頭範圍納入公園的未來設計中。我們會將這些意見轉交數碼港。

With 3 submissions we are asking the Town Planning Board to commit land owners and government to a continuous high quality waterfront in Pok Fu Lam. The deadline for comments is 16 April 2021. Click the button below to express your support.

我們向城市規劃委員會遞交了三份規劃申請，希望政府及土地業權人能致力打造一條高質素及連貫的海濱長廊。歡迎透過範本信支持這三個規劃申請，截止日期為2021年4月16日。

Support a continuous waterfront 支持打造連貫的海濱

The first section - Cyberport Waterfront Park (Y/H10/10)- will soon be handed permanently to the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited. Sources said government will set aside HK$400million for enhancement of the park. The company seeks to use the park to showcase innovation and technology. To make sure the community has a voice in the future development of the park, we propose that Cyberport is required to publicise a master layout plan and landscape design for community input and approval by the Town Planning Board.

第一段為數碼港海濱公園（Y/H10/10）。政府會將用地以永久型式撥給香港數碼港管理有限公司。早前有消息人士透露，政府會預留四億以用作翻新及改善海濱公園，數碼港亦希望為公園引入科技及智慧元素。如改劃獲批，海濱公園未來的發展都必須向城市規劃委員會遞交總綱發展藍圖及園景設計計劃，並讓居民及公眾表達意見，確保新的發展符合公眾利益及期望。

The next section - Telegraph Bay (Y/H10/11) - is a steep and tall rocky waterfront. For a promenade to get around the rock wall requires a 250m long elevated path over the water similar to the Mills & Chung Path at Deep Water Bay. With the application we propose to mark the future promenade on the outline zoning plan.

第二段為鋼綫灣海旁（Y/H10/11），主要是陡峭的岩石斜坡。海濱長廊的設計可參照深水灣的苗鍾徑，於岸邊建設約250米長的高架行人走廊。我們希望透過今次的規劃申請，於分區計劃大綱圖中為海濱長廊指定土地用途。

The final section - the waterfront promenade at Sandy Bay (Y/H10/12)– is an existing path with trees in front of the sports park and the sewage treatment plant, and a rocky beach. With the application we propose to recognise the existing path at Sandy Bay as a public promenade, and to extend it behind the rocky beach at Sandy Bay where it connects via stairs to Victoria Road.

最後一段為沙灣海旁（Y/H10/12），現址為香港大學體育中心及污水處理廠對出的小徑及石灘。我們希望透過今次的規劃申請正式確認現有的小徑及海濱，並延伸沙灣石灘後方的一段，連接至通往域多利道的樓梯。

Do you agree with these three applications to create a continuous waterfront at Pok Fu Lam? Click the button below to submit your supporting letter to the Town Planning Board before 16 April 2021.

Background information 背景資料

Legislative Council approved funding for Cyberport expansion
The Legislative Council approved funding for expansion of Cyberport last Friday. The decision will result in the loss of 20% of the park area for a building, access road and elevated walkways. It also opens the way for permanent ownership of the park by Cyberport. Besides conference facilities and offices, the new building will offer alfresco dining, public toilets and water fountains. In response to feed-back from residents the roof top will be lowered by 3 meters. Construction will start Q4 of 2021 for completion in 2025.

Funding has been set aside for new grass and repaving the promenade in the park. Compensation for the loss of the park area is still absent. Cyberport and the Innovation and Technology Bureau have yet to confirm waterfront enhancements the community has been asking for.

Conceptual drawings of the expansion presented to the Legislative Council offer a grasp of the expected outcome. Click here for the paper.

Click here for our first analysis

Next steps
Cyberport has committed itself to consulting the community and district council. The master layout plan for the building will have to be approved by the Town Planning Board. We are asking the Lands Department how they will determine the requirements to incorporate in the leases for the park and the building.

Tell us what you want in the park
Our cartoon above reflects the questions we received. When will the waterfront between Sandy Bay and Cyberport be connected? Will there be a roof for shade over the concrete pier? What play and skating facilities will there be for kids and where?

Cyberport's drawings provoke new questions too. Is the road access through the park for emergency use only? Will the elevated walkway create obstacle in the park? Why have the trees and grass along the waterfront been replaced with concrete?

Please use the form above or send us an email: info@paulzimmerman.hk . We will collate all comments and questions for presentation to Cyberport and relevant Government departments.

立法會通過「數碼港擴建計劃」的撥款申請
立法會於上星期五通過撥款擴建數碼港。新大樓及其通道將佔據公園兩成的面積，而當局會以永久形式向數碼港撥出海濱公園用地。除寫字樓及會議空間外，新大樓會提供室外餐飲設施、洗手間及飲水機。當局指因應居民的意見，新大樓的高度將會降低三米。工程將於2021年第四季展開，預計最快2025年落成。

是次撥款計劃包括重鋪公園草皮及海濱長廊。然而，創新及科技局及數碼港均未有具體交代如何補償減少的公園面積，以及會否回應居民就改善海濱和公園設施的訴求。

大家可從數碼港向立法會提交的概念圖，預覽公園的未來設計。請按此連結瀏覽相關資料

我們的初步分析

下一步
數碼港表示，他們會繼續就項目聆聽居民及區議會的意見。新大樓的總綱發展藍圖需等待城市規劃委員會審批，我們正向地政總署查詢署方會如何決定新大樓及公園的地契條款。

你想公園有啲乜？
就改善海濱設施，我們的繪圖顯示了居民中的熱門建議，當中包括將海濱長廊連接至大口環、為現有碼頭提供上蓋、在公園增設滑板場及兒童玩樂設施等。

此外，數碼港提交的概念圖亦為大家帶來不少疑惑：公園旁邊的通道是否只供緊急車輛使用？行人天橋設計會否造成障礙及影響景觀？為何使用混凝土取代現有海濱的草地及樹木？

請透過我們的網上表格或電郵：info@paulzimmerman.hk 發表你的意見。我們會將收到的意見及問題整合，然後向數碼港及相關部門反映。

Cyberport Expansion Budget Fails To Mitigate For Loss 數碼港擴建計劃未有適當補償公園面積縮小

10/6/2021

Cyberport expansion budget fails to mitigate for loss of park area

The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council is asked to approve a 5.025bln budget for Cyberport 5 tomorrow.

Cyberport will be permanently granted the entire popular 6.5ha waterfront park, of which more than 20% will be lost with the construction of a new building and access road.

We have asked LegCo members to reconsider giving budget approval. Please click here for our letter with eight concerns to be resolved. Key concerns are:

The Town Planning Board has yet to approve a Master Layout Plan of the new building;
The community / Southern District Council have yet to discuss enhancement and facilities in the park;
Government has yet to mitigate the loss of the park area (e.g. extension of the promenade to Sandy Bay).

The Finance Committee meeting will take place on 11 June 2021. The item, “Equity in the Hong Kong Cyberport Development Holdings Limited for the Cyberport Expansion Project” is scheduled for 3pm. Click here for the paper LC Paper No. FCR (2021-22)26.

Popular requests from residents for waterfront enhancements to compensate for loss of park area
The cartoon below shows the planned Cyberport expansion, as well as popular requests from residents for new park facilities and enhancements including an extension of the waterfront promenade to Sandy Bay.

數碼港擴建計劃未有適當補償公園面積縮小
立法會的財務委員會將於明日審批 50.25億元的數碼港擴建計劃。

當局會以永久形式向數碼港撥出海濱公園用地，新大樓及其通道將佔據公園超過兩成的面積。

我們已去信（英文版連結）立法會財委會希望議員能慎重考慮這個撥款計劃，以下是八大重點的其中三個：

城市規劃委員會仍未審批新大樓的總綱發展藍圖
居民及南區區議會還未商討改善公園的措施
政府未有適當補償公園面積縮小（例如將公園連接至大口環的海濱長廊）

立法會的財務委員會將於明日（2021年6月11日）下午三時後審批「注資香港數碼港發展控股有限公司以進行數碼港擴建計劃」。請按連結瀏覽會議文件 FCR(2021-22)26。
