If you want to tell the government your opinion on Hong Kong’s land supply issues, a new online questionnaire will let you do so from the comfort of your own home.

Six weeks into the public consultation on the subject, a government-appointed task force has launched an online survey to ask Hongkongers how the city can get at least 1,200 hectares of land for housing and economic needs in the next 30 years.

According to the government’s planning blueprint, Hong Kong requires 4,800 hectares of land in the next three decades. Authorities have already identified 3,600 hectares of land, which means the city faces a shortfall equivalent to 342 Taikoo Shing estates.

The survey asks users to choose from 18 possible options and is available on the task force’s website until September 26. It can take as little as five minutes to finish.

The paper version of the Task Force on Land Supply’s questionnaire has been handed out more than 14,000 times at six roving exhibitions across the city since the consultation began on April 26.
