Financial Secretary Paul Chan said at a press conference that the government will establish the Building Maintenance Support and Services Bureau, a non-statutory company wholly owned by the Financial Secretary Incorporated, with the target of completing registration and board appointments by the end of the year. From January next year, the bureau will assign building inspection consultants, conduct project tendering for owners within the first quarter, and progressively prepare the three pre-approved lists by the end of the year as originally planned. This year's Budget has reserved $300 million, of which $100 million is start-up capital and the other $200 million provides fee relief subsidies for owners.
The government announces the establishment arrangements, $300 million reserved purpose and service timetable for the Building Maintenance Support and Services Bureau, allowing readers to check whether they are covered by the new support services.
