Policy Address

Continue to Promote Ecological Conservation

219. The Government will continue to enhance the facilities of our country parks, integrating cultural characteristics of villages, to provide better eco-tourism experience for the public and visitors. It will also continue to develop the Sam Po Shue Wetland Conservation Park.

Expand the Charging Network for Electric Vehicles

220. The Government has stepped up efforts to promote green transport. Through the EV-charging at Home Subsidy Scheme and the gross floor area concession arrangement, about 200 000 EV-charging parking spaces are expected to be available by mid-2027. The Government will earmark $300 million for a new scheme, providing subsidies to the private sector for installing quick-charging facilities. The target is to have a total of 3 000 quick chargers installed by 2030.

221. The Government granted two vacant petrol-filling station sites for conversion into quick-charging stations earlier this year. It plans to invite expressions of interest from the industry next year to repurpose existing petrol-filling station sites as charging stations, with topside development for other purposes under the "single site, multiple use" model.
