Dr Pun pointed out that only the work on carrying out site inspection and providing replies on alleged unauthorised developments fell short of the target in the first and second quarters of 1994.
"After the setting up of the Central Enforcement and Prosecution Section in July 1994, the target was achieved in the latter half of the year," he added.
Dr Pun pledged to continue providing efficient, courteous and professional services to the public.
"As an on-going commitment to improving services, the public enquiry counter at the department's headquarters has been enlarged and installed new signage to provide a clean and friendly environment to our users", Dr Pun said.
"To ensure that our performance is effectively monitored and our services are meeting users' needs, a User Liaison Group has been established to provide the department with useful feedback and constructive suggestions.
"We shall continue monitoring our performance against targets and publish our achievements annually," he added.
Copies of a leaflet on the performance pledge for 1995 are available from the department's Planning Information and Technical Administration Unit on the 16th floor of Murray Building in Garden Road, District Planning Offices and District Offices.
