Paving the way for sustainable housing requires a balance
between the social and economic needs of the communities in the Housing
Authority estates with environmental resources required for our projects
and properties.
To achieve our vision of sustainable housing, we are committed to adopting
planning, design, construction and maintenance methods to address environmental,
health and safety issues in our projects. For example, during 2003 / 04
we completed studies to improve the drainage designs in our housing blocks,
and we undertook intensive inspections and a marking scheme to improve environmental
hygiene in our estates. We also continue to partner with industry to promote
various environmental, health and safety initiatives.
In this way, we will continue to be an active partner in encouraging healthy
living and enhancing the quality of our urban environment to the benefit
of our residents, business partners, our staff and the broader community.
We are pleased to present our progress in this report - our first ever integrated
Environmental, Health and Safety Report. |
