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

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.

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。
