The Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) announced today (July 31) that the joint venture of KPMG and Advisian has been appointed as the operations consultant for the Kai Tak Multi-purpose Sports Complex (MPSC) project.
"The operations consultant will assist the HAB in the planning of this important project including the operational and business plans, the financial projection forecast and performance requirements. It will also assist us in engaging the stakeholders to ensure that their views are fully taken into account in the planning process," an HAB spokesman said.
In his 2015 Policy Address, the Chief Executive announced that the Government will commence the advance works of the MPSC project this year. The HAB has accorded priority to this project and will start the pre-construction works later this year. The Kai Tak complex will provide new sports facilities for the community as well as world-class venues that will reinforce Hong Kong's profile as a centre for international sporting events.
