(11 September 2013, Hong Kong) The Government is undergoing a review on the Long Term Housing Strategy (LTHS). The review aims to ensure the optimal use of the existing land and housing resources to meet the housing needs of the community in the medium and long term. A Steering Committee, chaired by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, and comprising key stakeholders from different sectors has concluded a one-year study and a consultation document has been published to offer its findings and recommendations on various housing aspects and initiatives under the LTHS.

The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) together with other professional institutes co-organised a luncheon talk today and invited the HKSAR Chief Executive the Honourable C Y Leung to share the contents of the consultation document and the views of the Steering Committee during the luncheon.

The HKIE is generally in support of the Long Term Housing Strategy and objectives put forward in the consultation document and will gauge members’ views and prepare a submission to the Government in due course.
