Opposition to Development in Country Parks
On 17 May 2017 Government announced that it has invited a developer, the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS), to study the development potential of areas near and within Tai Lam Country Park and Man On Shan Country Park.
Government: http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201705/17/P2017051700797.htm
Without consultation, the government is trying to open a backdoor to development of country parks. The process of pre-selecting two areas for study by a developer sets a poor precedent which puts the entire country parks system at risk.

是次的邀請缺乏諮詢，必定為將來郊野公園發展立下不良先例！
