Funds will be allocated to each of the estates, in accordance with their size and age, to implement their works. The HM / PSM will be the controlling officer of such funds.
EMAC funds may be used for the following purposes : |
 | | | | 1. | Local Improvement Works
For example: improving building signages, installing handrails at meeting places of elderly tenants, providing seats in open areas, improving illumination at dark corners within housing blocks, improving pedestrian passages.
| | 2. | Betterment of Building Management
For example: campaigns related to estate security and cleanliness.
| | 3. | Environmental Improvement
For example: tree-planting, landscaping, cleaning-up operations.
| | 4. | Estate Activities
For example: community activities to publicize the work of the HA, and to encourage tenants' support and participation.
| | 5. | EMAC Newsletters
For example: to publicize the policies of the HA, and to notify tenants of the contents of EMAC meeting and estate activities, etc.

The works and activity items recommended by EMAC should be acceptable to the community in and around the estate and will not generate significant recurrent costs. They should also comply with existing legal and planning requirements and will not duplicate with those works already included in our programmes.
In drawing up a programme of works, EMAC should assess what can reasonably be achieved within a year and with the resources available, and prioritize the works items. Works items proposed should be implemented within the same financial year as far as practicable. Very small items should be handled through minor maintenance works.
Regarding estate management activities, EMAC will be allowed to co-organize such activities with other organizations including Government departments or organize activities on their own. Total expenditure on such activities should not exceed 15% of the funds allocated to each EMAC. |
