WKCDA - Public Engagement Exercise

To prepare a Development Plan for the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD), the WKCDA has committed to undertake a three-stage public engagement (PE) exercise to gauge the views of both the general public and stakeholders, including those from the arts and cultural sector, in a structured way. The views received will be taken into account in the planning and design process of the WKCD.

A three-month Stage 1 PE exercise has been conducted from 8 October 2009 to 7 January 2010 to gauge the public and stakeholders’ aspiration and expectations on the planning of the WKCD as a whole as well as the requirements of facilities in the arts and cultural venues. Views on programmes and education-related activities in the future WKCD were also collected.

Views were collected through a diversity of channels including questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, written submissions, electronic platforms, forums/focus groups meetings and the media. A compendium containing all the views collected is consolidated.

A hardcopy of the Compendium is available for viewing by members of the public at the Secretariat of the Board of the WKCDA on 7/F, 98 Caroline Hill Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, from 31 March 2010 onwards [Monday to Friday (except public holidays) 9:00am – 1:00pm, 2:00pm – 6:00pm]. For protection of copyright, no photo-copying of any parts of the Compendium will be arranged or allowed.
