(香港,2023年3月6日) 政府正就交椅洲人工島進行公眾參與活動,香港工程師學會 (下稱「學會」) 作為代表工程界的專業團體,為會員舉辦人工島項目的簡介會,由發展局、土木工程拓展署、規劃署等參與項目計劃和發展的主要部門講解詳情,並接受會員發問,進行建設性的交流。
政府由發展局副秘書長(工務)黃恩諾工程師、土木工程拓展署署長方學誠工程師、規劃署副署長/全港姜錦燕女士率領研究團隊出席,向會員簡介人工島項目的填海範圍、概括土地用途、策略性運輸基建及可能融資選項四方面的初步建議。會上多名會員踴躍發問,政府代表聯同研究團隊亦一一解答,並承諾將會詳細考慮會員提供的意見。
會長卜國明工程師:「政府積極推動各大基建,為未來發展創造容量,為社會發展帶來重大的發展機遇。學會相信香港工程界憑著多年來開拓新土地,包括人工島填海的經驗,有足夠的人才技術應付未來多項重點工程,包括交椅洲人工島項目。學會期望政府在培育和吸引人才方面加快步伐,確保工程界有足夠人力資源以推進項目,解決土地短缺的問題,並創造土地滿足市民對住宅及各項經濟活動的需求,為市民創造更美好的生活。」
學會樂意就交椅洲人工島項目及其他重要基建發展提供專業意見,亦會積極推動各會員參與社會事務,為建設香港提供力量。

(6 March 2023, Hong Kong) The Administration is actively promulgating and engaging the public in the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands (KYCAI) project. As a professional body representing the engineering sector, The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) organised a briefing session on Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands on 6 March 2023, supported by key responsible parties including the Development Bureau, Civil Engineering and Development Department, Planning Department and more. The briefing session aimed at facilitating an in-depth understanding of the KYCAI and providing a platform for exchanging views on the project.
Representing the Administration, Ir Roger Y L Wong, Deputy Secretary (Works) of the Development Bureau, Ir Michael H S Fong, Director of Civil Engineering and Development, Ms Ginger K Y Kiang, Deputy Director of Planning/Territorial of the Planning Department; led the study team to attend and expounded the preliminary proposal in 4 aspects, i.e. the reclamation extent, broad land use, strategic transport infrastructure and possible financing options of the KYCAI. A number of questions and suggestions were raised by our members, which will form part of the considerations when relevant authorities further formulate details for the project.
President Ir Aaron K M Bok said, “Various large-scale infrastructure projects are launching with a common objective to create capacity for our city’s future development, bringing numerous opportunities for societal development. With years of experience in developing new land, including artificial islands through reclamation, the local engineering industry certainly has the talents, skills and technology to manage these significant projects, including the KYCAI. The Institution emphasises that talent development and retention measures must be stepped up and implemented as soon as possible, to secure the necessary engineering manpower to push forward these projects, in order to alleviate land shortage, meet the demand for housing and other economic activities, and create better lives for people.”
The HKIE stands ready to offer the engineering expertise and professional advice to support the development of the KYCAI and other infrastructure projects, and encourages members to actively participate in public affairs and contribute to the advancement of our society.
