It is therefore proposed that the criteria for granting approval for opening any new (including relocation of existing) centres should be as follows:
(a)
based on the Club's own assess-
ment, and further confirmed by
the appropriate City District
(b)
(c)
(d).
Officer or District Officer,
there is no overt objection
from members of the public living in the immediate vicinity;
Police inteliggence indicates the existence of illegal gambling activities or a potential for illegal activities and thereby
illustrating the need for a lawful outlet;
there is no Police objection on operational grounds, such as
security, accessibility, obstruc- tion, nuisance, etc;
such centres should preferably be located in purpose-built buildings,"
commercial premises, MTR
station complexes or, in the case of public housing estates,
at the estate commercial centres; wherever practicable, the centres should not be located in the immediate vicinity of any existing schools or youth and children's centres.
