【 #搞乜郊野 】郊公主題樂園狂想曲
財政預算案預留5億係郊野公園增設 #樹頂歷奇 同搞 #豪華露營(glamping)等,另撥5500萬比旅遊事務署升級 十條熱門行山徑。消息一出,「行山界」劣評如潮,擔心政府又搞亂檔。
呢5億5千萬撥款,唔單止「搞亂檔」咁簡單,仲意味政府或已調整「搞郊野公園」嘅方法-由明刀明槍開發邊陲地帶,轉為低調「私有化」及「旅遊化」郊野公園,先淘空同破壞郊野公園本身嘅根基,再打開開發郊野公園嘅 #潘多拉盒子。
▍「私有化」、「豪華化」 破壞郊野公園公共性
雖然政府無提供進一步資料,但合理推斷豪華營地及樹頂歷奇屬商業營運收費設施,本質上與樸實及免費設施格格不入。郊野公園40多年歷史中未曾出現過類似豪華設施,若成事將顛覆郊野公園嘅 #公共性,將其變成一件可被私人開發嘅資源,後患無窮。
《郊野公園條例》通過時,麥理浩曾經講過:「沙灘同山丘(指郊野公園)屬於大眾,遊艇、哥爾夫球場呢啲豪華設施,係小眾玩意。」(...the beaches and the mountains are for the many what the yacht and golf course are for the few.) 【註1】。呢個大眾免費享用所有設施嘅精神亦體現喺郊野公園策劃同管理上。翻查一份關於郊野公園康樂目標嘅解密文件【註2】,政府不應以成本或時限限制市民進入郊野公園享用設施(there are no restriction on entry into the Country Park in terms of time or cost),所以係郊野公園範圍內搞豪華露營,基層朋友將無法負擔,破壞郊野公園向大眾開放嘅根基,亦係「#私有化」郊野公園嘅第一步。
▍曾有發展商擬發展「西貢昂平哥爾夫球場」被否決
過往亦試過有財團對郊野公園虎視眈眈。今日極受歡迎嘅野餐露營地點-#西貢昂平高原,40年前差點成為哥爾夫球度假村,除咗有球場外、仲有野生動物園(safari park),仲有纜車接駁(昂平纜車?)。呢個瘋狂計劃,最終因為政府唔信發展商能夠以相宜價錢開放比公眾使用而被否決【註3】,昂平高原亦得以倖存,足以體現郊野公園嘅免費原則。
▍豪華娛樂設施 唔應該「踩過界」入郊公
不過郊外亦可以有私人參建嘅康樂設施,但當年港英政府已經講明唔可以「#踩過界」,原則上,私人、收費或豪華形式嘅康樂,都要係郊野公園以外。
翻查奠基郊野公園文件 "The Countryside and the People" 【註4】,政府將郊外康樂設施分為兩類:
Þ #公營普及康樂設施(General recreational facilities): 基本且適合大眾使用嘅康樂設施,例如燒烤爐、郊遊徑,費用全免;
Þ #私營特殊康樂設施(Specialized recreational facilities):有特定受眾嘅特殊設施,例如歷奇營、宿舍,甚或乎係豪華康樂設施,可以收費。
文件清楚指出,郊野公園及周邊地區嘅康樂設施策劃上,必須是「#先普及、#後特殊」(private organizations...should not be given undue preference in the allocation of land to the prejudice of the community in general) 。而私營特殊康樂設施通常環境足印較大,策劃時要小心考慮對周邊景觀(having regard to the likely detraction from scenic amenity),所以呢類康樂設施都係郊野公園門口,例如大網仔、北潭涌,而非郊野公園核心。今次「升級」營地,即代表係郊野公園內現存營地落手,違反初衷。
根據郊野公園成立原則,豪華營地同樹頂歷奇,同「西貢昂平哥爾夫球場」一樣唔應該係郊野公園入面出現。
▍郊野公園 旅遊化、「打卡化」打開開發缺口
郊野公園並唔係主題樂園。解密檔案提到,郊野公園嘅成立有 #四大目標,包括「保育,康樂,資訊及教育」【註2】。而呢四大目標當中,保育被視為係重中之重(Conservation is one of the main theme that runs through all the park planning work),郊公入面嘅設施不得違背其精神。即係話,同保育無直接或間接關係嘅活動,例如樹頂歷奇同住豪華營地(同住酒店差唔多)呢啲主題式樂園活動,就只應該留返係郊野公園以外。
呢啲私有化、豪華化同旅遊化郊野公園嘅措施,一步步嘗試改變郊野公園屬性,慢慢將佢由公共財產,變成一個可開發嘅旅遊資源。若此缺口一開,不能排除旅遊化計劃例如度假村、XXYY樂園,將會接踵而來。

【大嶼填海 為誰而建】
【漠視民意 事倍功半】
<對「明日大嶼」計劃之聲明>
(Please scroll down for English Version)
特首林鄭月娥在剛推出的2018年施政報告中,提出「明日大嶼」計劃,目標在東大嶼填海1700公頃,建造多個人工島。作為建築、測量、都市規劃及園境界別的選委代表,我們對推出的目的、規模、程序及模式均有所保留:
【供過於求,為誰而建】
根據政府統計處推算,香港人口於2043年達至高峰,比現在增長88萬,之後便會回落。但未計現正進行的土地房屋發展和現有閒置的房屋資源,東大嶼填海後便可供110萬人居住,為何要提供過剩的供應?
如此龐大計劃,卻沒有交代規劃願景及土地分布等重要考慮,亦沒有交代填海選址及規模的理據。特首亦明言,此計劃是要「大嶼山會成為通往世界和連接其他大灣區城市的『雙門戶』」,這不禁令人擔心,新造的土地未必能聚焦解決香港的住屋問題。
【漠視民意,無視更佳選項】
土地大辯論剛結束並正進行歸納,眾多專業團體和市民提出了大量寶貴及可行的意見,例如:棕地、軍事用地、私人遊樂場地契約用地、閒置政府地、近岸填海等選項。可惜,在土地專責小組報告未出爐前,特首突然急於推出如此大規模的填海計劃,無視整個土地諮詢,視民意如無物。而且比起大規模填海,這些選項成本較低、技術要求較低、對環境影響也較小,大規模填海是捨易取難,未有充分考慮專業意見。
【不符成本效益】
當提及填海的開支,特首輕描淡寫地說「四五千億走唔甩」。但不少工程專家認為,若計算連接的道路和鐵路,加上近年基建超支的趨勢,保守估計亦要一萬億,大約是香港外匯儲備的一半。若工程期間遇到不可預期的情況,如早前港珠澳大橋人工島移位之類,開支更會進一步飆升。當然,一萬億是否合乎成本效益,要看有否其他可達至同樣目的,但成本較低的選項。而在土地供應問題上,明顯有不少成本低得多的選擇,如收回粉嶺高爾夫球場、收回棕地等。
【合理分配,按步推展】
土地和房屋問題可分短、中、長三階段處理,因而直接影響儲備的分配。在填海的開支上,若單項投放一萬億而忽略了短中期房屋措施的資金投入,恐怕顧此失彼,未能達到成果效益的社會平衡,恐陷頭重腳輕寸步難行的困境。
【天人共存,敬畏自然】
超強颱風山竹吹襲香港,市面一片狼藉,情景還歷歷在目。當大眾開始感受到全球暖化所帶來的天然災害,大規模填海是反其道而行,因其耗能大、碳排放極高,對環境影響也是不可逆轉的。雖然特首說「氣象風險可管理」,但大自然的力量並不是人類可以匹敵的。加上如此大規模的填海,需要運用大量海砂,對填海的海域和海砂的出產地造成嚴重生態災難。其實造地應以順應大自然的方式,並考慮以人居、環境互相配合的新式設計,而非因循上世紀「新市鎮」的發展模式。就算填海是不可避免,亦可以推進式堤岸及分散式堆填等方法,在增加土地的同時產生宜居及保育沿岸生態系統,相對大規模的填海工程更能抵禦氣候變化的環境改變。
【總結】
我們作為建築師、測量師、規劃師、園境師,一向關心香港的土地和房屋問題,亦明白到這些問題的急切性。但「明日大嶼」計劃不但不能解決問題,更會引發很多不能逆轉的影響。
在過去五個月,無論官方的專家小組,或者民間研究組織,在土地諮詢過程中提出了很多優秀的方案。所以,我們呼籲林鄭月娥特首,為香港福祉,為了我們的下一代,暫停「明日大嶼」計劃,重新找出一個有利香港未來的土地發展方案,讓市民共同參與,為未來重燃希望。

【Lantau Tomorrow - Who is it for ?】
In the 2018 Policy Address, Chief Executive Mrs. Carrie Lam announced the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” which targets to construct artificial islands with a total area of about 1700 hectares through massive land reclamation. As Election Committee members of the Architectural, Surveying, Planning and Landscape Subsector, we have reservations on the objective, scale and procedures of the proposal:
【Oversupply of land, who is it for ?】
According to the projection of the Census and Statistics Department, population of Hong Kong will reach its peak at 2043 which means there will be an increase of 880,000 people compared to the current population. Population will then decrease gradually. If we disregard the current land and housing development and vacant residential units, the proposed artificial islands alone can accommodate 1,100,000 people. Why do we have to create more supply than demand?
Important information like planning visions and land use plan was not announced, justification of reclamation scale and site selection was also absent. This is unusual and far from satisfaction for such a massive development proposal. The CE claimed that the proposal is for “making Lantau a “Double Gateway” to the world and other Greater Bay Area cities.” This makes people speculate whether the land created will be for solving housing problem in Hong Kong?
【Public Opinion Ignored】
The public consultation on land supply has just completed and the Task Force on Land Supply has not concluded the public opinions. During the consultation process, a lot of ideas were discussed and submitted. The feasible land supply options include: brownfield sites, military sites, sites under private recreational leases, vacant government land and near-shore reclamation. Surprisingly, the CE announced the massive reclamation proposal before the report of the Land Supply Taskforce, without paying respect to the consultation and all public opinions collected. Moreover, comparing to massive reclamation, the options raised in the consultation process cost less, face less technical difficulties and have less impact to the environment. Professional knowledge is apparently not thoroughly considered in the proposal.
【Not Cost Efficient】
The CE mentioned the cost of reclamation will be “roughly 4-5 hundred billions”. However, engineering experts estimated that, including all the connecting roads and railways with consideration of recent trend of infrastructure over budget, the cost of constructing the artificial islands will be at least a thousand billions ---- this will be equivalent to half of Hong Kong’s foreign currency reserve. If unforeseen conditions were encountered during construction, such as drifting of artificial island in the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge construction, the cost will be further soared. When we assess whether a project is cost efficient, we will try to see whether there is any lower cost alternatives that can achieve the same objective. The one-thousand-billion artificial islands are obviously not cost efficient as there are other options that cost a lot less such as developing the Fanling golf course and developing brownfield sites in the N.T.
【Balanced Resources Allocation】
Land and housing problems need to be solved in 3 stages: short-term, medium-term and long-term. Resources have to be allocated appropriately to all stages in order to have a coherent result. If a thousand billions were invested in a single long-term project, the resources for short-term and medium-term solutions will inevitably be limited. Such resource imbalance cannot create the desired social return.
【Living with Natural Harmony】
Our memory is fresh with the destruction of Typhoon Mangkhut which we experience the consequence of global warming. Massive reclamation is a bad response to climate change. It will spend massive energy, vast amount of carbon emission and it will bring irreversible impact to the ecosystem. Although our CE claimed that “climate risks can be mitigated”, natural force is nothing human being can be compared. In addition, this scale of massive reclamation will need incredible amount of marine sand. It will bring forth ecological disaster to the reclamation area as well as the marine sand mining area. For sustainable development, land supply shall adopt methods that are harmonious with the environment and design that balance between human habitat and nature. Just following the “New Town Development” mode that was used a century ago is not going to be a good solution. Even reclamation is inevitable, progressive reclamation along the coast shall be considered first which is more friendly to the marine ecology and less impactful to climate change.
【Conclusion】
As Architects, Surveyors, Planners and Landscape Architects, we are deeply concerned with the land and housing problems in Hong Kong. We also understand this is an urgent issue that we have to face and tackle immediately. However, we doubt whether the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” can solve the problem, indeed, we worry that it will even bring us irreversible impacts.
In the past 5 months during the public land consultation, the official land task force and many civil research groups have proposed many feasible solutions for land supply. We urge the CE, for the sake of sustainable development in Hong Kong and for our generations to come, suspend the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” proposal. Let’s work together with the people for a better Hong Kong and bring hopes to our future.

下午移師 Council of government room,有桌子, 比較好做筆記。一個大場次,討論:Tourism and Environmental Protection。 晚上到海邊的一個餐廳吃飯繼續討論。 今天討論的議體有:What are the existing land use rights and what could be done for a more appropriate use of land, especially in coastal areas and island territories? Are there competing land use rights impacting sustainable and responsible tourism?
The development of eco-construction and eco-buildings for tourism. How would “smart buildings” be promoted (lower energy consumption, integrated sewage, reuse of water, SWAC) to the lower the environmental impact on the most sensitive areas?
Given global climate change models and potential impact on island nations and sea-level tourism destinations, what can be done to develop resiliency strategies for sustainable tourism? What are risks to tourism-centric economies if this natural features and access points are threatened by sea level rise?
How should we manage clean transportation in coastal and/or recreational sites?
