Biodiversity and Environmental Outreach and Public Sharing
In response to the Government’s plans for the partial development of 32 ha of the Old Course of the Hong Kong Golf Club (HKGC) at Fanling (FGC-PD), a 110-year-old golf course, which is the oldest golf course in Asia and China, HKGC has engaged technical environmental experts and formulated its response as part of the public consultation for the FGC-PD Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). In June- August 2022, HKGC has transparently shared this and also supplementary information from its own ongoing ecological monitoring and assessments and provided them as supplementary information to Hong Kong’s Advisory Council on the Environment (ACE) to assist their consideration of the Government’s FGC-PD EIA, and the community’s understanding of the high ecological and biodiversity value of HKGC at Fanling.
