A Caring and Inclusive Community
Supporting Work in the Aftermath of Tai Po Fire
233. The Government has provided comprehensive support for those affected from the Tai Po fire. We have just announced the long-term housing arrangements and earmarked $4 billion accordingly.
234. To reduce the risk of bid-rigging in building repair works, the URA will launch an enhanced version of "Smart Tender" in the second half of this year. In addition to providing a more rigorous pre-qualified list, the URA will render professional advice and support for owners in engaging consultants and contractors. Besides, the URA will provide subsidies to encourage owners to utilise the paid services of "Smart Tender". For these two measures, we propose allocating a total of $300 million to the URA.
235. DEVB is conducting a comprehensive review of the Operation Building Bright 2.0 to draw up a new subsidy scheme. We will earmark $3 billion accordingly. Moreover, we will allocate $1 billion to extend the Lift Modernisation Subsidy Scheme to provide subsidies to property owners.
