Where would you expect to find a rock climbing area, a beach volleyball court and go-kart circuit all in one place? Possibly just a few steps from where you live.
Showy facilities have almost become a requirement for property developments in recent years. However, residents cannot use all of them. A flat owner in Tung Chung's Caribbean Coast - a development with a clubhouse of 610,000 sq ft - has complained that some of the facilities have not opened since he moved in three years ago.
The clubhouse's management company told resident Jeremy Tam Man-ho that it cannot open the snack bar, a bar and a computer game room for children because it lacks operating licences.
'They need, for example, an entertainment licence to run the game centre, but they will not do it as the centre will have to be opened to the public then,' Tam said.
It is a common problem among estate clubhouses: they will not apply for a licence to operate as a private clubhouse because if they do, they must be opened to the public.
Without one, the management company must obtain individual licences for services they seek to provide - such as a liquor licence for a bar or a food licence for a cafe. And clubhouses may not be able to meet all the requirements for these licences.
'At least 20 per cent of my clubhouse's facilities are wasted or left idle, and yet every month we keep pumping in money for their repair and maintenance,' Tam said.
