The Hong Kong Golf Group is increasing its efforts to protest the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to recover part of the Panling High Court with a century -old history to build a public house.They warned that this measure could harm Hong Kong's international image.
According to Reuters on Friday (July 21), the Hong Kong Fanling Golf Course covers an area of 172 hectares.Public houses.
The Hong Kong Government plans to complete the construction of 12,000 houses and conservation areas in 2029.Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao showed that he was determined to follow the legal procedure to implement the plan.
However, the Hong Kong Golf Club strongly opposed the proposal, saying that the international image and environmental protection of the Hong Kong Financial Center was the reason to retain this land.
Opponents believe that the Fanling Golf venue lacks infrastructure to accommodate a large number of residents, and the increase in land supply near the area in the past few years has made the Hong Kong government's land recovery plan unnecessary.
They also pointed out that the golf course is the home of wild animals and plants. This land also contains the only endangered Chinese swamps and cypress forests in Asia."The most important thing is that Hong Kong will lose its attraction as an international financial center."
The Hong Kong Golf Club has applied for the Fanling Golf Stadium in early July this year to apply for 2023 UNESCO Asia -Pacific CultureThe inheritance conservation award is to reiterate the history and natural conservation value of the Fanling Golf Course.This application is still being processed.
A source close to Li Jiachao said that Li Jiachao is eager to be regarded as standing with the Hong Kong labor class, not standing with the elite class.But the increasingly rising opposition of the Hong Kong Golf Club surprised him.
A city research professor at Lingnan University, Hong Kong, said that Li Jiachao had never thought that the elite will be so hard to lobby ... This shows that although Hong Kong's political climate has changed, the policy implementation is not an obstacle. The elite classWill not always be willing to cooperate.
Due to the long -term supply of land in Hong Kong, the property price remains high, so the former Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e in Hong Kong agreed to recover the land of the Fanling Golf Stadium in 2019 to build a private house to respond to the demand for high housing.
A person familiar with the matter said that the Hong Kong Development Bureau still pushes the land development plan and is worried that the change of any position will show weakness and make it more difficult for future promotion plans.
However, the Hong Kong Development Agency Planning Department submitted documents to the City Planning Board in June this year, and it is recommended that the land for public houses plans to build public houses is temporarily revised as a "unreasonable use" area.Although the Development Bureau described this as a "stable and appropriate arrangement", it still attracted a lot of criticism from non -profit organizations, questioning that it would affect the scale and timetable of public housing development.
