"HAD has been playing an active role in promoting effective private building management in the territory."

Publicity and education activities such as training courses, seminars, exhibitions, videos and publications are organised for owners and residents. More than $500,000 will be used for these activities in the coming financial year.

"I am confident that all HAD staff are committed to providing a better service to our regular clients and the general public in a whole range of areas in 1995," Mr Wong concluded.

Secondary school exhibition on Airport Core Programme

The first joint school exhibition on the Airport Core Programme (ACP) will be opened tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

The ACP Joint School Exhibition cum Competition, organised by the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office (NAPCO), is part of the department's ongoing efforts to promote the 10 ACP projects among young people.

So far, NAPCO has successfully introduced two teaching kits - one for primary schools in February 1994 and the other for secondary schools in October last year. A series of seminars and boat tours of ACP projects areas have also been arranged for school principals and teachers.

"The exhibition cum competition aims at providing an opportunity for secondary school students to explore the social, economic and environmental impact of the ACP, as well as to develop their creativity and spirit of co-operation," said the Director of NAPCO, Mr Billy Lam.
