Members of the public who would like to participate in a building management seminar to be held on March 15 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre are reminded today (Friday) to send in their enrolment forms before February 26.

The "Building Management Seminar '97", jointly organised by the Home Affairs Department (HAD) and the Housing Department, is aimed at promoting effective building management among residents to help them achieve a better living environment.

"The seminar will give participants an opportunity to acquire a good working knowledge and proper concepts of effective building management, and to share their experience with other participants," a spokesman for HAD said.

"Flat owners, office-bearers of owners' corporations and mutual aid committees, building management professionals, as well as other interested people who want to join in the seminar should submit their enrolment forms to HAD before next Wednesday."

Topics to be covered include the formation of owners' corporations in Home Ownership estates, building electricity maintenance, building repair and maintenance, the Building Safety Inspection Scheme, and legal aspects of building management.

The spokesman said that there would be an open discussion following each session to give participants an opportunity to raise questions and exchange views on various issues relating to building management with the speakers.
