Housing Supply

Flat production in 2003 was 42 500. This comprised 26 400 flats in the private sector, 11 600 public rental housing flats and 4 5007 subsidised home ownership flats.

Monitoring Demand for and Supply of Land for Housing

The Government will ensure an adequate supply of land for residential development. A comprehensive monitoring system together with an alert mechanism to adjust land supply and land production have been put in place so that the market demand is met in a timely manner.

Supporting Infrastructure

Provision of the bulk of infrastructure to support housing developments has always been carried out in a programmed and structured manner. To avoid delay of housing developments due to lack of infrastructure facilities, the Government has adopted fast-tracking measures to deliver these projects if needed. From 1995 to 2003, there are 57 such projects and 44 have already been completed. The remaining 13 projects are at various stages of implementation with a total project estimate of about $5.8 billion.

For those HOS flats that are completed or under construction, these will be disposed of through market-friendly means.
