​The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (April 29) that rental of six market stalls at Sunlight Market in Tung Chung will be open for application starting tomorrow (April 30).
The FEHD spokesman said, "Sunlight Market, opened in March last year, is located at Fu Tung Street near Tung Chung Station. We introduced a new management model to strengthen the role of the service contractor in managing the market, with a view to enhancing business vibrancy and meeting the needs of the public. There are a total of six market stalls, including two fruits stalls, one vegetable stall, one other food-related wet goods stall, one frozen/chilled meat (excluding chilled poultry) stall and one seawater fish stall, open for application from April 30 to May 14. They will be allocated by computer balloting."
Applicants should be aged 18 or above and ordinarily reside in Hong Kong. Starting from tomorrow, application forms can be downloaded from the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk) or obtained at the District Environmental Hygiene Offices. The completed application form together with supporting documents shall be delivered at or before 6pm on May 14 by fax (2545 2964), email (tcmkt@fehd.gov.hk), in person or by post to the Islands District Environmental Hygiene Office. Applicants can also fill in the online application form and submit the application online. Late applications will not be accepted.
The priority order of eligible applicants in selecting a market stall for rental will be generated by open computer balloting. The date of ballot is scheduled for May 28. The result will be uploaded onto the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk) on the next day after the computer balloting for checking by the applicants. The FEHD will subsequently issue letters to notify successful applicants of the stall rental arrangements.
