Briefings and site visits on the ACP are also organised for different members of the local and overseas communities, including community leaders, academics, professional and business groups. For school students in particular, we have also produced teaching kits on the ACP and organised briefings and exhibitions to cater for their interests specifically.

As the ACP projects are building towards peak production, we are aware of the growing importance to keep the people of Hong Kong updated on the ACP progress. We will continue to use the above channels to disseminate the relevant information to the public.
