Government organises public forum on
Heritage Conservation Policy
***********************************************************

The Development Bureau will organise a public forum on October 20 (Saturday) to elaborate on a series of new measures on heritage conservation and the "Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme", and to seek the views of the community on these measures.

The Chief Executive announced in the 2007-08 Policy Address a number of new measures on heritage conservation to response to the public's aspirations on preserving historic buildings. He also pledged to press ahead with these initiatives in the next 5 years.

One of the measures is "Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme Heritage". The scheme seeks to revitalise Government historic buildings in an innovative way in order that they may become an integral and lively part of the local community, which in turn will generate wider social and economic benefit.

The government would actively engage the public in mapping out the details of the measures to ensure the finalised proposal could fully reflect the views of the community and the concern groups, and that a consensus could be reached with them. The Development Bureau would explain the conservation measures in details to the public, non-government organisations, green groups and non-profit organisations attending the forum, and listen to their views.

Details of the public forum are as follow:

Date: October 20, 2007 (Saturday)
Time:　3pm – 5pm
Venue: Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, Kowloon Park, Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

The public forum will be conducted in Cantonese. Simultaneous interpretation service will be provided.
