Dr Reed said an Environmental Project Office (ENPO) was set up in West Kowloon as a means of bringing an extra focus on compliance with agreed limits on air and water pollution and noise.
"Staff from the ENPO visit the construction sites in the West Kowloon Project Area very frequently with a view to identifying problems and taking action as early as possible.
"They also liaise with the local community and discuss their concerns. about environmental problems associated with the construction works and present regular progress reports to the relevant district boards.
"This all helps us to keep a good grip on the situation and to avoid there being a gap between the promises and commitments made at the planning and design stage and the actual performance in practice," Dr Reed said.
The ACP exhibition is being held at the Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui and is opened daily from 10 am to 8 pm until Friday (March 10).
It is the 10th exhibition organised by NAPCO since August last year to keep members of the public abreast of work progress of the 10 ACP projects.
More than 150,000 people have attended the previous nine exhibitions which were held throughout the territory.
Also officiating at today's opening ceremony were the Chairman of Yau Tsim Mong District Board, Mr Chow Chun-fai; the Chairman of Sham Shui Po District Board, Mr Wong Chung-ki; and the Director of NAPCO, Mr Billy Lam.
