The Buildings Department has so far removed 380,000 unauthorised building works during the 10-year enforcement programme, which exceeds its 40,000 annual target.

      It is expected that by the end of the 10-year programme at the end of March next year, the department will have removed more than 400,000 unauthorised building works. Most of the unauthorised works to be cleared under the enforcement policy will have been removed by that time.

      The department will continue to conduct inspection and enforcement actions against shop-front decorations and projections and unauthorised signboards, and handle the public's reports. It will also bolster inspection of the roadside along pedestrian precincts and areas with heavy pedestrian flow.
