Vacant School Premises Sites
Central Clearing House Mechanism
In accordance with the Central Clearing House (CCH) mechanism, the Education Bureau upon confirming that a vacant school premise (VSP) is no longer required for school uses, will inform the Planning Department (PlanD) and other relevant departments (e.g. the Lands Department (LandsD) and the Housing Department (HD)). PlanD will then conduct review according to the mechanism to consider and recommend suitable alternative long-term use (such as Government, Institution or Community, residential and other uses) for the VSP site concerned.
Up to the December 2022, PlanD has reviewed and recommended the long-term land use of a total of 256 VSP sites in accordance with the mechanism. The departments concerned (e.g. LandsD, HD, etc.) will take follow-up actions as appropriate in accordance with the recommendations.
