Supporting Community Infrastructure Projects

84.      The Development Opportunities Office will also provide one-stop consultation and co-ordination services for community infrastructure projects. After the second meeting of the Task Force on Economic Challenges, the Chief Executive announced that government departments should provide more active support to charitable and voluntary organisations considering extension or relocation plans. We have subsequently received about ten community building proposals. Depending on the specific needs of individual projects, we will consider the provision of non-recurrent funding.
