Beautifying the Harbourfront

105.    Imbued with cultural and historical significance, Victoria Harbour is an icon of our city.  All Hong Kong people cherish it as our precious asset.  The Harbour-front Enhancement Committee, and a number of community organisations, have in recent years offered suggestions and advice on ways to enhance our harbourfront.  I applaud their efforts.  The Development Bureau will co-ordinate the work of different government departments to ensure the effective implementation of projects to beautify and revitalise these areas.  It will set up a task force to study the feasibility of conducting medium and long-term re-planning of the harbour, improve the accessibility of the harbourfront and, in consultation with District Councils, proceed with the construction of waterfront promenades.  I hope that our beautiful harbour will remain a symbol of our city that can be enjoyed by all.
