Welcome Message

Welcome to the website of the Civil Engineering and Development Department.

Our prime role is to provide high quality civil engineering infrastructure to meet Hong Kong's development needs.

Since the establishment of the department in July 2004, we have made good progress on various fronts.

On the project side, we have successfully completed the infrastructure works for the Hong Kong Disneyland. The project has just won the Sixth Tien-Yow Jeme Civil Engineering Prize, which is the greatest honour in the field of civil engineering construction nationwide. This is a great encouragement to our staff.

We have recently completed Piers No. 7 and No. 8 in Central, which have been open for public use. We are now proceeding in full swing with the final stage of the Central Reclamation Phase III. For the Kai Tak Development, we have commenced the engineering review and are actively pursuing the development of the new cruise terminal.

On greening, we have just completed the Greening Master Plan planting works in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, significantly enhancing the greening environment in these two districts. We will continue to draw up Greening Master Plans for other districts.

On slope safety, we will continue to implement the Landslip Preventive Measures Programme to further reduce landslide risk. We will also continue to provide community advisory services and public education to raise public awareness of landslide threats.

To enhance the operation of the department, we have developed our first strategic plan to realize our vision, mission and values. Our staff are now actively taking forward the initiatives in the strategic plan to strive for engineering excellence.

You are most welcome to browse through our website and we hope you find it interesting and informative. We would be happy to hear from you if you have any comments and suggestions.
