The UFI Programme, being the extension of the Local Public Works scheme and the improvements to urban fringe areas around the New Town, has been substantially completed. |
| |
| |
The RPIS Programme covers improvement works on infrastructure development and environmental improvement in the rural New Territories outside the new town area. Projects within the programme are classified into three sub-programme areas :- |
| |
| |
| i) |
Village improvement and development schemes - to provide adequate infrastructure, improved facilities including drainage and flood protection, and serviced land for future expansion of villages.
|
| ii) |
Improvement, reconstruction and extension of village access roads - improve village access roads and to implement road improvement works required by the Environmental Protection Department under the Livestock Waste Control Scheme.
|
| iii) |
Provision of sewer and sewage treatment plants in rural areas - to provide sewerage networks and treatment plants for unsewered developments within the village confines. |
|
| |
| |
With effect from 1 August 1994, the role for implementing RPIS minor projects has been transferred to Home Affairs Department. They were considered to be in a better position to co-ordinate the RPIS minor works together with their Local Public Works Programme in the rural areas. The RPIS minor works 10-year programme has ended in March 2000. However, the implementation of some remaining committed improvement items is still in progress. Any new proposed rural minor improvement items would be implemented in Rural Public Works Programme under the control of DHA. |
