Judicial review of Fanling Golf Course case | Govt should re-consult public on environmental assessment report
The government planned to reclaim part of the land in the Fanling Golf Course for public housing construction. Last year, the Hong Kong Golf Club filed a judicial review in the High Court regarding the environmental assessment report for the development of the Fanling Golf Course land, seeking to overturn the Environmental Protection Department's decision to accept the report.
Judge Russell Coleman issued a written judgment, ruling that the golf club won the case and that the government must re-consult the public on the environmental assessment report. The government is also required to pay the Club's legal costs.
