Objective of Greening Master Plan (GMP)
 

By considering the character and needs of an area, a GMP seeks to define the overall greening framework of the area, and serves as a guide for all parties involved in planning, design and implementation of greening works. In addition to identifying suitable locations for planting, the GMP will establish the greening themes and propose suitable planting species.

GMP Completed

We have developed the following GMPs:
GMP for Tsim Sha Tsui
GMP for Central
GMP for Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei
GMP for Sheung Wan, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay
GMP for Western District
GMP for Southern District
GMP for Eastern District
GMP for Sham Shui Po
GMP for Kowloon City
GMP for Wong Tai Sin
GMP for Kwun Tong

The implementation of the short-term greening works for Tsim Sha Tsui and Central as recommended in the relevant GMPs was completed in 2007. Please click here (5,573 KB) for photographs of some of the completed works.

The short-term greening works for Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Sheung Wan, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay as recommended in the relevant GMPs started in August 2008 and are expected to be completed by end 2009.

The short-term greening works for Western District, Southern District, Eastern District, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong as recommended in the relevant GMPs are scheduled to start in end 2009 and are expected to be completed by mid 2011.

We will closely monitor the on-going studies and planned developments in the districts so as to promote the implementation of the associated medium-term greening measures. A strategy for taking forward the long-term greening measures will be mapped out later on.

GMPs for the New Territories

We intend to extend our GMP initiative to the New Territories. In view of the large study area involved, we expect the GMPs will focus on core town centres, tourist attraction locations and major transportation routes in the New Territories. We shall consult the relevant District Councils and stakeholders in 2009 before finalizing the study coverage.

Your Participation

Community support of the GMPs is very important. We welcome your comments and suggestions on the contents of the GMPs and your participation in the implementation and/or maintenance of the greening works. Please contact us with your ideas.
