Policy Address

182.         To enhance the promotion of local art and bring in more international exhibitions, the Hong Kong Museum of Art will undergo major renovation and expansion to improve facilities and services for visitors.  A new gallery will also be built to display the works of local artists.

183.         Committed to providing more cultural and arts facilities and venues, the Government plans to build a cross-district community cultural centre in Ngau Tau Kok, which will comprise an auditorium with about 1 200 seats and a theatre with about 550 seats.  It will become a major cultural facility in Kowloon East upon completion.

184.         Our strategy for sports development is to promote sport in the community, support elite sport and maintain Hong Kong as a centre for major international sports events.  The Government will seek funding for the construction of additional indoor sports centres in Sha Tin and Tuen Mun to meet the needs of local residents, schools and sports associations.
