The design of the improvement works to the promenades on both sides of the Aberdeen Harbour aims to showcase the ambience of a fishing village. The streetscapes of Ap Lei Chau Main Street and its adjacent streets will also be enhanced to highlight the characteristics of the traditional fishing village in Aberdeen and to strengthen the tourism appeal of the area. The estimated fee for the design is about $1 million.
The design of the improvement works will take about 8 months and is expected to complete by late 2010. Upon completion of the design, we will map out the programme for the relevant works.

Question :
|
The Administration stated that the approved project estimate for “the site formation for Kai Tak cruise terminal development” is $2,303.9 million. After deducting the revised estimate for 2009-10, the remaining reserve should be $2,266.9 million. However, the estimated expenditure for 2010-11 is only $259.1 million. What are the reasons? What is the programme of the expenditure for the remaining provision? How to expedite the progress of the works for the completion of Kai Tak cruise terminal?

The anticipated expenditure in 2010-11, i.e. $259.1 million, was determined based on the current works programme of the main site formation contract of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Development awarded in November 2009. The remaining expenditure will be incurred between the years 2011-12 to 2016-17 to tie in with the progress of the construction works which are scheduled for completion in phases by 2015 with the first cruise berth targeted for commissioning in mid 2013.
