Harbourfront Enhancement and Development

127. There is a general consensus in the community for the need of a new mindset in taking forward harbourfront enhancement. However, it is premature to establish a statutory Harbourfront Authority. The Government has decided to first partner with the Harbourfront Commission and implement harbourfront enhancement initiatives through a dedicated team with dedicated funding. The aim is to further extend the waterfront promenade along both sides of the Victoria Harbour, beautify areas in the vicinity and improve accessibility of the waterfront. The Government has earmarked $500 million for the first stage for taking forward harbourfront development.
