FOCUS

Quick-Win Promenade under Incremental Approach

A quick-win promenade will make use of mainly the western portion of the ex-
PCWA for multi-purpose event space, including harbour steps, landing steps

and mooring bollards to facilitate water sports events and promote water-

friendly culture. The promenade is targeted for completion by Q4 2021.

Currently, there are already some water sports events organised by water

sports organisations at the water space nearby. In order to explore and
unleash the potential of the ex-PCWA in carrying out water sports and

recreation activities, trial of water sports events will be held therein through
engaging the Water Sports Council.

Nevertheless, the degree of human contact with water, whether primary

or secondary, will depend on water quality. The Government will continue
with its ongoing initiatives, including 'Enhancing the Quality of the Coastal

Waters of Victoria Harbour' by the Environmental Protection Department,
and to explore practical options to effectively reduce nearshore pollution and

enhance the quality of coastal water.
