The following is issued on behalf of the Town Planning Board:
In line with the latest adjustment to public services in response to the most recent situation of COVID-19 announced by the Government, and to significantly reduce the flow of people and social contacts to stop COVID-19 from further spreading in the community, starting from today (July 20), members of the public can place their submissions made under the Town Planning Ordinance in the drop-in box located at the Town Planning Board (TPB) Secretariat's reception counter on 15/F, North Point Government Offices during office hours (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday). Other counter services will be temporarily suspended until further notice. Members of the public can continue to make enquiries through the telephone hotline (2231 4810) or email (tpbpd@pland.gov.hk), and can visit the TPB's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb) for statutory planning information.
Posting of site notices for planning applications will also be suspended starting from today, and the related site notices will not be posted thereafter. However, notices of planning applications will continue to be published in the prescribed newspapers and posted on the TPB's website.
The meetings of the Metro Planning Committee and the Rural and New Town Planning Committee of the TPB originally scheduled for July 24 will be rescheduled.
