COMMITTEE SUPPORTS SPORTSGROUND PROPOSAL
*****
MEMBERS OF THE RECREATION AND CULTURE SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE PROVISIONAL REGIONAL COUNCIL TODAY GAVE THEIR SUPPORT TO A PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE A STANDARD SPORTSGROUND AT MUI WO, LANTAU, FOR THE ISLANDS DISTRICT.
THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (HEADQUARTERS) OF THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, MR GEOFFREY ORR, TOLD THE COMMITTEE THAT THERE WAS NO STANDARD SPORTSGROUND IN THE ISLANDS DISTRICT AT PRESENT AND MAJOR EVENTS HAD TO BE HELD OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT.
MR ORR SAID WHILE THE POPULATION OF THE DISTRICT WAS UNDER THAT CURRENTLY RECOMMENDED IN THE HONG KONG PLANNING STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE PROVISION OF A STANDARD SPORTSGROUND, A STRICT APPLICATION OF THE PLANNING STANDARDS MIGHT RESULT IN UNDER PROVISION.
A DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY, THEREFORE, HAD TO BE APPLIED IN ASSESSING THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF PROVISION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES FOR ISOLATED RURAL DISTRICTS, HE SAID.
THE PROPOSAL WILL GO TO THE WAYS AND MEANS SELECT COMMITTEE NEXT TUESDAY AND THE PROVISIONAL REGIONAL COUNCIL ON MARCH 20.
