擬議在 吐露港興建公共海事設施中心
 
早前創建香港根據《城市規劃條例》第12A條提出申 請修訂土地用途，用於吐露港興建公共海事設施中心。
 
計劃於白石角香港科技園前方興建之設施包括可存放 200艘船的船隻儲存倉，以及可停泊400艘船的浮 橋系統。整個計劃造價預計約需2億港幣。
 
擬議海事設施中心提供足夠的船隻停泊位置，開放吐露 港，發展海岸旅遊、休閒娛樂服務及水上運動。同時， 此計劃能為因禁止拖網捕魚而失去生計的漁民提供工作 機會。而該地是新近填海所得，進行建設對生態的影響 極微。鄰近科技園既有的公共交通服務、停車位與零售 及飲食商舖亦可為計劃的配套設施，更有效地使用現有 資源。
 
創建香港行政總裁司馬文稱：「香港應該有一個公共海 事設施中心，是收費便宜且可讓人擺放船隻。本港擁有 一條長1000公里的壯觀海岸線、280個島嶼、湛 藍的海洋、白色沙灘……可惜的是只有超級富豪才會有 一個合適的空間安心地存放船隻或水上運動器材。你的 滑浪板不能放在家、又不可以帶上小巴或港鐵，亦不是 人人有車。」
 
創建香港曾經做過一個名為「共建活力海濱」的研究， 列出可興建水上康樂配套設施的地點。選址條件包括： 非生態敏感地帶、現有消閒水上活動地區、可用土地、 有道路連接以及對海路運輸的影響盡量少。白石角就是 其中一個。
 
是次的申請編號為Y/PSK/1，建議修訂該地區用 途為「其他（海事設施中心）」和「休憩用地」。公眾 可以在今年2月22日或以前就申請書向城規會提交意 見。同時，白石角東分區計劃大綱修訂圖建議將該地改 為「住宅（ 乙類）」亦正收集市民意見，截止日期為今年3月18日。本公司認為兩項建議之間並無衝突，可以合併。
 
司馬文解釋：「政府應慎重考慮在吐露港興建公共海事 設施中心一事。政府可以選擇未來在售賣鄰近住宅地時 加設一條條款讓該私人發展商興建，落成後則交由非牟 利機構管理。」

Press Release

 

Proposal for a public marine centre in Tolo Harbour submitted

 
Hong Kong, 5 February 2013 - Designing Hong Kong has submitted a Section 12a planning application to the Town Planning Board for a public marine center in Tolo Harbour.
 
The proposal calls for a dry stack for 200 boats and a floating pontoon system for 400 boats at Pak Shek Kok, partially in front of Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. The estimated cost is around HK$200million.
 
The marine centre will offer affordable mooring of boats, opening up the waters of Tolo Harbour to the community for marine tourism, leisure, recreation, and water sports activities. These activities offer new job opportunities for fishermen displaced by the trawling ban. The man-made shoreline was selected to minimize the ecological impact of building waterfront facilities. The adjacent Science Park offers convenient public transport, and ample parking, retail and restaurant facilities.
 
“The Hong Kong community deserves public marine centres where they can store boats cheaply. Hong Kong has a spectacular 1,000km coastline, 280 islands, blue waters and white sand beaches. However, boating is restricted to the super rich who can afford a private marina. Facilities are needed for the public to keep boats and water sports equipment safe at a low cost. After all, a surfboard does not fit in your home, you can’t take it on the minibus, you can’t take it on the MTR and few people can afford a car,” said Paul Zimmerman, CEO, Designing Hong Kong Limited.
 
 
Pak Shek Kok is one of several locations identified for new facilities in Designing Hong Kong’s research ‘Vibrant Harbours – Water Activation Projects’. Site selection criteria include minimal ecological impacts, presence of leisure marine activities, available land, road access and minimal impact on commercial marine traffic.
 
The application by Designing Hong Kong, Y/PSK/1, proposes the zoning of a remaining waterfront site at Pak Shek Kok as “Other Specified Uses (Marine Centre)” and “Open Space”. The public can submit comments to the Town Planning Board until 22 February 2013. The same site is proposed to be zoned Residential (Group B) in the new draft Outline Zoning Plan S/PSK/10 for Pak Shek Kok (East) which is open for public comments until 18 March 2013. Designing Hong Kong does not consider this a conflict, as both plans can be combined.
 
“Implementation of the Public Marine Centre in Tolo Harbour will be a matter of Government to decide on. One option is to include the construction of the marine centre as a ‘Built-Transfer’ requirement with future residential land sales at Pak Shek Kok. Once built, the facilities can be operated by existing or new not-for-profit organisations,” Paul Zimmerman explained.

Hong Kong has a spectacular 1,000km coastline, 280 islands, blue waters and white sand beaches. But unless you are super rich, there is no space to keep  your boat or water sports equipment safe. Your surfboard does not fit in your home, you can’t take it on the minibus, and you can’t take it on the MTR.

Support our 15 proposals for affordable public marine centres, beach clubs, mooring areas and piers. Please see our powerpoint presentation below for more details and share!

香港擁有一個壯觀及長達1000公里的海岸線、280島嶼，湛藍的海水和白色沙灘。除非你是超級富豪，你並沒有合適空間以安全地儲存你的船隻或水上運動器材。你的衝浪板未能放在家、也不可以把它帶上小巴或港鐵。

請支持我們15個提案，為香港提供價格相宜的公眾水上康樂中心、海灘俱樂部、繫纜區及碼頭。詳情請參閱以下的簡報。

 



Press Conference

Paul Zimmerman and Eva Tam will present the findings of studies by Designing Hong Kong into leisure marine and water sports in Hong Kong.

There is an acute shortfall of affordable mooring, berthing and storage facilities for boats and water sports equipment in Hong Kong.

Land and money will be needed to make sure the public can enjoy Hong Kong’s spectacular waters, 1,000km mostly natural coastline, and the 280 islands.

These investments will also create alternative job opportunities for fishermen who are affected by the trawling ban.

Based on our research ‘Vibrant Harbours – Water Activation Projects’ we will be proposing locations for marine recreation facilities.

Sites have been selected based on criteria including, minimal ecological impacts, presence of leisure marine activities, available land, road access and minimal impact on commercial marine traffic.

The recent Ting Kau Beach incident demonstrates the gap between demand for public boating facilities and the availability of facilities.

記者會

創建香港CEO  司馬文先生 與項目經理 譚家欣小姐將匯報創建香港最新研究專題- 香港休閒水上活動-之研究結果。

香港一直缺乏價格相宜的繫纜和靠泊位置，停泊船隻及水上運動設施等的空間也嚴重不足。

足夠的土地和金錢是確保市民能享用香港壯觀的水域(約長1000公里的天然海岸線和280個島嶼)的先決條件。

這些投資同時也為受禁止拖網捕魚措施影響的漁民創造就業機會。

根據我們的研究項目──「共建活力海濱」，我們將會提交多個擬議選址進行一系列的水上康樂配套設施改善計劃。

當中選址標準包括：非生態敏感地帶、現有消閒水上活動地區、可利用土地、道路通道及減少對海路運輸的影響。

近日「汀九泳灘事件」亦充分說明公共船隻設施在需求及供應之間存有落差。
