Yau Ma Tei Sub-Treasury to be refurbished
To be in line with the spirit of serving the community, the Treasury plans to refurbish the Yau Ma Tei Sub-Treasury.
In order to continue collection services during the reprovisioning, the refurbishment works will be carried out in four phases with the first one starts in early November and the fourth to be completed by March next year.
While the reprovisioning will bring a modern look to the Yau Ma Tei Sub- Treasury, it is inevitable that there will be inconvenience caused to the public due to partial closure of the collection counters.
To save time, members of the public are encouraged to use autopay or payment by phone service to settle water bills, rates demands, Crown rent demands and student loan repayments or to settle other demand notes by cheque through post.
