AS PART OF THE CURRENT CONSULTATION WITH RELEVANT CONCERNED GROUPS, THE SECRETARY FOR PLANNING, ENVIRONMENT AND MR TONY EASON, TODAY (MONDAY) MET REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DEMOCRATS OF HONG KONG (UDHK) TO DISCUSS PROPERTY PRICES AND URBAN RENEWAL.
AT THE MEETING, MR EASON SAID THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER A TERRITORY-WIDE LAND DISPOSAL PROGRAMME WAS VERY COMPLICATED AND THE 1994/95 PROGRAMME WAS WORKED OUT WELL BEFORE THE TASK-FORCE WAS SET UP TO LOOK INTO THE LAND SUPPLY AND PROPERTY PRICE SITUATION.
MR EASON SAID: "THE REASON WHY WE SHIFTED THE BALANCE THIS YEAR MORE TOWARDS LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL SITES WAS BECAUSE THE EMPHASIS HAD BEEN ON HIGH-DENSITY SITES IN RECENT YEARS.
"CONCERN HAD BEEN EXPRESSED DURING 1993 THAT MULTI-NATIONAL FIRMS HAD DIFFICULTY IN FINDING SUITABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR THEIR SENIOR STAFF HERE WHICH MADE HONG KONG LESS COMPETITIVE.
"DESPITE A HIGHER PROPORTION OF LOW-DENSITY SITES, THE LAND DISPOSAL PROGRAMME THIS YEAR SHOULD MAINTAIN THE FLAT PRODUCTION RATE OF 10,000-11,000.
"THIS TOGETHER WITH FLATS ENABLE US TO MAINTAIN OUR TARGET ANNUALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
