country parks

From Designing Hong Kong:

The Chief Executive has referred the map of the Clear Water Bay Country Park to the Country and Marine Parks Authority to excise an area of 5 hectares for the extension of the South East New Territories landfill.

The Board of the authority could have said no or recommended a new area to be added under section 4 of the Country Park Ordinance (Cap. 208). It did neither.

Instead, the Board spent its time reviewing the need for the landfill extension and failed to ask for a compensation to protect the country park.
