CLUB UPDATES
CLUB UPDATES
As promised in my last report, on 29 May we presented the revised Master Plan to members at a Members Forum. The revised ‘essential works’ Master Plan was well received by those present. The difference between the current Master Plan and those which have been developed since 2014 are that the current proposal deals only with those works which are essential to enable the Club to be compliant with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements and all statutory requirements, to provide adequate accommodation for the Club’s staff, to provide adequate workshop facilities for the Membership and the Marine Operations Department, and provide adequate space in the yard and hardstand areas to meet the needs of the membership. Equally importantly, the proposed essential works will allow the Club to meet its obligations to provide access to the Club’s Sailing Facilities to the General Public, as required by the Club’s Lease, and will satisfy the Government’s policy proposals for Private Recreational Leases. The essential works are: obtaining a lease amendment to permit increased ‘site coverage’ which will permit such things as the replacement of the retractable roof over the Garden Bar and of the shelter over the children’s playground; replacement of the Marine Office and Marine Department workshops and members’ workshops; regularisation of the existing boat racks to meet OHS requirements and the construction of more racks; an increase in the number of pontoon berths; improved facilities for back-of-house functionality; improvements in members’ changing rooms and toilets; improved storage; improved staff and instructional facilities; and repairs to the sea walls and raising and improving the strength of the hardstanding and drainage.
We re-presented the draft Master Plan to GenCom on 31 May and, as no objections were raised and no further suggestions were forthcoming, we are now proceeding with the planning and preparation needed to present it to the Government, which we are targeting for this month.
我們於5月29日舉行會員大會簡介修訂的總體規劃。經修訂的總體規劃「基本工作」 得到與會者的廣泛支持。目前的總體規劃與2014年起開展的計劃，差別在於目前的 建議只處理一些重要的工作，包括使本會符合職業健康與安全（OHS）要求和所有 法定要求、為本會員工提供足夠的工作空間、為會員和海事執行部門提供足夠的工作 設施，並在碼頭和岸泊區提供足夠的空間以滿足會員的需求。同樣重要的是，擬議的 基本工作將能夠令本會履行義務，按照本會的租約要求向公眾開放航海設施，並可滿 足關於私人遊樂場地契約的政策建議。基本工作包括: • 取得修訂租約，容許增加「覆蓋範圍」，讓我們可以更換花園酒吧上的可伸縮屋 頂和兒童遊樂場的上蓋; • 更換海事辦公室和海事部門的工作坊和會員工作坊; • 對現有船架進行正規化以符合職安健要求，以及興建造更多船架; • 增加浮橋泊位的數目; • 改善後勤設施的功能; • 改善會員更衣室和洗手間設施; • 增加儲物空間; • 改善員工和教學設施; 及 • 修理海堤和防波堤，以及加強岸泊位定的強度和排水能力。 我們在5月31日再次簡介總體規劃的草案。由於沒有收到反對或進一步建議，我們將 進行所需的計劃和準備工作，目標是在今個月內向政府作出交待。
