Applications for display of publicity materials should be made on the standard application forms designed to include appropriate indemnity and disclaimer provisions.
The form can be obtained from today at the District Lands Office, Hong Kong West, and the Public Enquiry Service Centre of Wan Chai District Office.
Completed forms should be returned on or before October 1 to the District Lands Office for processing. An open ballot with applicants or their representatives' present will be held on October 14 at the Wan Chai District Board Conference Room on the 21st floor, Southom Centre, 130 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, to select successful applicants.
After the ballot, the spokesman said, a list of successful applicants would be displayed at the District Lands Office and the Public Enquiry Service Centre of Wan Chai District Office. Unsuccessful applicants will not be notified separately.
Vacant spots after balloting will be allocated to post-deadline applications on a first-come-first-served basis. The approved period for display will be one month from the first day of the month less the last two days.
"Upon expiry, the publicity materials must be removed within two days, and unmoved banners will be cleared and disposed of by the Government which reserves right to claim removal costs and prosecute offenders," said the spokesman.
The spots have been chosen to ensure that traffic and pedestrian safety will not be compromised.
"The pilot scheme is not applicable to properties managed by the Housing Authority and the Urban Council which already have their own control system," he added.
A review will be conducted at the end of the trial period.
