EPD
to Enhance 'One-stop Shop' Service
The Environmental
Protection Department (EPD) has extended the "one-stop-shop
service" for the application of environmental licences and
permits.
In addition
to the existing service counters at the six EPD Local Control
Offices (LCO), similar counters have been set up in three
other EPD offices. All the counters will now accept applications
for any environmental licences or permits.
"We started
the service at the LCOs to collect licence and permit applications
related to construction sites at the beginning of 1997," said
EPD's Assistant Director (Local Control), Dr Mike Chiu.
"By providing
more service counters and extending the scope of the service
to cover all environmental licences and permits, the applicants
will find it even more convenient to submit their applications,"
he said.
Applicants
can visit or telephone any of the collection counters to obtain
licence and permit application forms and information packages
relating to all licensing requirements. They can also enquire
about the status of their applications submitted.
