In response to media enquiries on noise control during events held at the Kai Tak Arena, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) today (March 16) gave the following response:
The EPD and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) have not imposed any restrictions on the operating hours of events held at the Kai Tak Arena, nor have they placed any limitations on activities extending beyond midnight.
Events held at the Kai Tak Arena (including sports events or music performances) are conducted indoors with central air conditioning. Therefore, the assessment in the EIA report concluded that noise levels would not exceed the limits.
The EPD also conducted noise measurements near the venue during rehearsal concerts. The results showed that the noise reduction facilities installed at the venue are effective and meet the performance expectations outlined in the EIA report, with noise levels complying with legal standards.
