│ OUR PERFORMANCE

Public Engagement

The Department and the Civil Engineering and Development Department jointly
commissioned the Study on the Artificial Islands in the Central Waters (the Study) in June
2021. As at end-2021, a total of 25 meetings with stakeholders and concerned groups
were held to gather their views and support to the Study. One Joint Professional Forum

and one Young Professional Workshop were also organised to provide opportunities for the
participants to discuss and exchange ideas on various subjects relating to the Study. Such
continuous stakeholder engagement will be undertaken throughout the study process. A

public engagement exercise is tentatively scheduled to be held within 2022.

For the ‘Study on Active Design for Healthier Lifestyle - Feasibility Study’, a total of 3

stakeholder engagement events were held in May and June 2021 to collect views of
the draft ‘Active Design Guidelines’ from the experts in the field, professional institutes,
developer associations and certification body.

Planning Department Outreach Programme

The 2021-22 Outreach Programme commenced in September 2021 to tie in with the
school year. During school visits, we staged a mini-exhibition on 'Planning for a Liveable
and Healthy Hong Kong' using the Mobile Exhibition Centre (MEC) and provided the school

with an information kit. School talks relating to town planning topics were provided to
secondary schools for selection. As for visits to primary schools, a brief talk on planning
and a modelling workshop were provided.

Roving exhibitions were staged in shopping centres and government offices to provide
the general public with an opportunity to learn more about the Department and our work.
Besides, mobile exhibitions using MEC were staged at public venues.

Notwithstanding the COVID-19
pandemic outbreak, we still
managed to make 58 visits/

sharings to universities,
secondary schools, primary
schools and special-
aided schools, and staged

exhibitions at 8 public venues.
