《水務設施規例》去年經修訂，以防止分間單位（俗稱「劏房」）業主向其租戶濫收水費。水務署除聯同其他部門採取聯合行動，了解租戶有否被濫收水費及加強執法外，亦推出一項為「劏房」安裝獨立水錶的先導計劃，以免業主向「劏房」租戶收回水費時發生爭議或誤墮法網。今次，我邀請水務署同事講解有關先導計劃的細節，而「劏房」業主和租戶亦會分享參與這計劃的原因以及成功安裝獨立水錶後的情況……

The Government has been striving to make Hong Kong a more liveable city.

One of our major development directions is to extend the open management model of “Harbourfront Shared Space” to more harbourfront sites……

The Development Bureau (DEVB) has been proactively promoting heritage conservation and has made some achievements. My colleagues and I submitted a regular report on the progress of the implementation of various heritage conservation initiatives to the Panel on Development of the Legislative Council on 12 July.

On my first day upon taking office as the Secretary for Development (SDEV), I held a meeting with the heads of the departments under the Development Bureau (DEVB) to share my mission and vision. I hope to briefly introduce our future work directions through my first post in “My Blog”……

The Development Bureau (DEVB) and the Harbourfront Commission (HC) have been proactively taking forward harbourfront development. In addition to connecting the promenades along both sides of the Victoria Harbour, we have also made vigorous efforts to establish an open management mode of “Harbourfront Shared Space” in recent years. I am pleased that the initiative has been well received by members of the public. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, we have earlier held the “Summer·Harbour” launching ceremony to unveil the summer makeover we made in partnership with local artists for the six precincts on both sides of the harbour. This time, I have specially invited the young artists to introduce their art installations……
