Beautifying the Harbourfront

94.      Creating continuous waterfront promenades on both sides of the Victoria Harbour and improving connectivity between the harbourfront and inland areas is an on-going effort. The Legislative Council has approved the creation of a directorate post to head a task group on harbourfront enhancement, and has set up a sub-committee under the Panel on Development. Next year, we will start work on temporary waterfront promenades in North Point and Kwun Tong. We will also provide additional funding to facilitate the work of the Harbourfront Enhancement Committee to conduct research and organise public participation activities, with a view to developing harbourfront sites into prime leisure spots.
