Two new members (i.e. Mr Mac Chan Ho-ting and Ms Angela So Wing-kwan) are also appointed. The Secretary for Development, Mr Michael Wong, welcomed the appointments and re-appointments. He said that the two new members are young professionals who would bring new perspectives to the work of the HC.

With the $6 billion earmarked in the Budget this year, we are going to further extend the connected promenade. The Government and the HC will continue to work together to build an even more attractive, vibrant, accessible and sustainable harbourfront for Hong Kong," Mr Wong said.
