*****************************************************************************************
The Scheme provides a one-off subsidy of $100,000 to club-house operators with valid Certificates of Compliance (CoC) issued under the Clubs (Safety of Premises) Ordinance (Cap. 376). It aims to provide immediate financial relief to CoC holders whose businesses have been hard-hit by the epidemics and social distancing measures imposed by the Government.

The Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) under the Home Affairs Department has started to disburse subsidies to the successful applicants, who will be informed of the disbursement of subsidies through letters or emails.
The application deadline is May 18. Eligible CoC holders are reminded to submit their applications as soon as possible. The application form and guidelines can be downloaded from the website of the OLA (www.hadla.gov.hk) or obtained from the office of the OLA (Address: 10th Floor, 14 Taikoo Wan Road, Taikoo Shing, Hong Kong).
