Exhibitions are also staged in shopping centres and Our PerfOrmance

government offices located in various districts to
provide the general public with the opportunity to
learn more about the Department and our work.

Besides, mobile exhibitions were staged at public

public housing estates, with the support of the MEC.

In 2017, we visited a total of 45 secondary and
primary schools, staged exhibitions at three shopping Exhibition at Shopping Centre
centres and three government offices, and visited 32
other public venues.

The Mobile Exhibition Centre

The Department operates an MEC to support
the Outreach Programme. The MEC is a vehicle

equipped with touch-screen computers and plasma
monitors with interactive media that provide various 88
types of information on town planning. In 2017,
the MEC visited public venues as well as providing

support for the school visits. Staff of the Department
were also on duty to answer questions from the
public and distribute publicity materials.
The Mobile Exhibition Centre
User Liaison Group

The Department’s User Liaison Group was first formulated in 1994 to monitor the work
performance of the Department against the targets set out in the Performance Pledge, and to
consider suggestions for improving the Department’s services to the public. Over the past years,
members of the public have been forthcoming in offering their views and suggestions on various

services provided by the Department. Nowadays, there are also direct and convenient means
for the public to communicate with the Department. With these considerations, the User
Liaison Group was discontinued as from 2017. The Department would continue to strengthen

our communication channels with the public with a view to improving our services to the
community.
