Planning Department publishes list of vacant school premises reviewed under Central Clearing House mechanism
******************************************************************************************
     The Planning Department (PlanD) today (May 17) published a list of vacant school premises (VSP) sites with their long-term uses reviewed under the Central Clearing House mechanism.

     To make optimal use of VSP, under the Central Clearing House mechanism the PlanD will consider suitable long-term alternative uses for the VSP sites when the Education Bureau notifies the PlanD and other relevant departments that it no longer requires the sites concerned for school use. Upon confirmation of the long-term uses for the VSP sites, the PlanD will inform the departments concerned of the recommendations for their follow-up as appropriate.
 
     Up to the present, the PlanD as the Central Clearing House has reviewed and confirmed the long-term uses for 183 VSP sites.
 
     To facilitate public access to information on the VSP sites which have been reviewed under the Central Clearing House mechanism, from now on the list of VSP sites will be made available on PlanD's website (www.pland.gov.hk) and at PlanD's Planning Enquiry Counters. The list will also be circulated to the relevant District Offices and District Social Welfare Offices.
