Purpose

Appendix  -  Background Brief of the Western Wholesale Food Market and Signature Project Scheme in Central and Western District

Sketch of Ideal Design of the Harbourfront Railings
  1. Located at 8 Fung Mat Road, Western District, Hong Kong, the Western Wholesale Food Market (“WWFM”) has been in operation since October 1991 under the management of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. The market site area is about 6.2 hectares, and the wholesale facilities provided therein include fruit, freshwater fish, vegetable and egg markets. In 2013, the market throughput is about 190 000 tonnes by quantity and around HK$2,300 million by values.
  2. The Chief Executive announced the introduction of the “Signature Project Scheme” (“SPS”) in the 2013 Policy Address by earmarking a one-off allocation of $100 million for each district to undertake projects that met the need and aspiration of the district. After discussion and public consultation, the Central and Western District Council decided to pursue “Harbourfront Enhancement and Revitalisation at the Western Wholesale Food Market as a Public Open Space” as a SPS project to be implemented in Central and Western District (“C&W District”).
  3. The SPS project will enhance the four idling piers and waterfront area at the WWFM, providing sitting-out and recreational facilities and activities for the public, as well as a waterfront of enhanced vibrancy in C&W District.
  4. Currently, there is no railing installed at the four idling piers and waterfront area at the WWFM. For safety's sake, the waterfront promenade in future has to be installed with safe and feature railings without causing obstruction to visibility.
