A Government spokesman said that the TPB membership has been expanded from 34 to 45, comprising 8 official and 37 non-official members.

 

He said that the expanded membership is to cope with the heavy workload of the Board, to strengthen representation of the relevant fields such as engineering, architecture, environment, etc.

 

"The interests of planning-related sectors which have not previously been represented such as landscape architect and heritage preservation will also be covered," the spokesman added.

 

He noted that all TPB members are appointed on an ad personum basis.

 

"The Government looks forward to a very productive new two-year term of the Board. We have confidence in the ability, independence and dedication of all the members appointed," he said.
