We refer to the proposal by the Hong Kong government to construct a large landing facility in the southern part of the West Kowloon Cultural District for vessels plying Victoria Harbour, as set out in the recently published Government Notice 1375. We seek public response to the proposal and, in particular, feedback on whether the public would support an alternative proposal to reinstate in that location Queen’s Pier , which was formerly on the Central Harbourfront but which was demolished for the expansion of the central business district by massive reclamation. It has been a long-standing aspiration of Hong Kong people that such an important and historical monument of Hong Kong’s past be reinstated in a suitable location along Victoria Harbour. Our society will be pleased to provide further information about this public matter if contact is made with us at our email address: info@harbourprotection.org Our society is a recognised public charity without any commercial interest. Our task for the past quarter-century has been to protect and preserve Hong Kong’s unique Victoria Harbour in the public interest. Therefore, any communications between the public and ourselves will not be regarded as confidential. This is because views presented to us will have to be made available to the government, as that is the purpose of our present concern. Queen’s Pier demolition removed part of Hong Kong’s history Our society is anxious to present to the government public views on this matter in an open and objective manner, by our acting as an honest mirror to the government’s present proposal.
