回應《二零一三年施政報告》

• 我們歡迎行政長官 2013 年施政報告，我們支持報告提出的房屋及土地供應，及環保和保育的政策。我們希望政府可以投放足夠資源，並克服在政策執行時遇到的障礙及其他阻力。

• 我們建議政府需要制訂一套結合長遠經濟及產業發展策略和人口政策的整體發展藍圖。

• 我們支持在維港外填海，為香港作長遠土地儲備，但填海工程需要平衡工程和環境生態的問題。

• 我們要求新發展區開發要具備策略性規劃，以建立充份協調和可持續的發展。

• 我們同意政府制訂長遠房屋供應計劃。我們要求政府積極增加「可負擔的房屋」的供應，以填補公共房屋與一般私人住宅的空隙。

• 我們認為「政府、機構或社區」用地改劃為住宅用地，政府需要謹慎進行以確保日後社區用地需要和城市空間及市民生活質素。

• 我們建議就土地及房屋發展，政府需要簡化及加速審批程序。

• 我們贊成增加倡議優化環境的政策，改善公共空間、街道和有特色的城市空間、並改善市區內的行人環境。

Joint Response to Policy Address 2013

• We welcome the Chief Executive's Policy Address 2013. We support the measures proposed for housing and land supply and environmental protection and conservation in the Policy Address. We hope the Government can put in necessary resources and overcome the administrative hurdles and other resistance.

• We recommend the Government to draw up a holistic development blue print to integrate economic and industrial development strategies and population policies for the future of Hong Kong.

• We support reclamation outside Victoria Harbour to provide long term land reserves for Hong Kong subject to careful balance of environmental issues.

• We advocate a strategic planning approach in the new development areas to achieve coherent and sustainable new development.

• We agree with the long term planning for the provision for housing. We suggest the Government to proactively increase the provision of affordable housing to bridge the gap between public and private housing.

• We consider that Government should be cautious in changing GIC sites to residential use, such that the future need of GIC sites, the quality of urban space and the quality of life are not compromised.

• We propose the Government to simplify and to expedite the approval process with regards to land and housing development.

• We concur with the environmental proposals to include promotion of the betterment of our public realm, improving public space, streets and quality urban places related to the pedestrian environment.
