Opening ceremony for North Point Community Hall held today (with photos)
************************************************************************
North Point Community Hall is located at 123 Java Road in North Point and is adjacent to MTR North Point Station, North Point Ferry Pier and a bus terminus. The hall adopts a simple design concept, which draws on the waves of Victoria Harbour in large and small curves and integrates the forms into the interior design. The venue is equipped with a multi-purpose hall with a seating capacity of 450 people, a stage, a conference room and dressing rooms. The venue also has barrier-free access facilities in place for the convenience of people in need.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Miss Tse said Eastern District is a rapidly growing community with a population of more than 500 000, and residents in the district have a strong demand for community facilities. The opening of North Point Community Hall will enrich the district's cultural, recreational and community services, which can strengthen social cohesion. She also thanked the Eastern District Council (EDC) for its support for the project.
Other officiating guests at the opening ceremony included the Chairman of the EDC, Mr Wong Kin-pan; the District Officer (Eastern), Mr Simon Chan; the Vice-Chairman of the EDC, Mr Chiu Chi-keung; the Chairman of the District Facilities Management Committee under the EDC, Mr Hung Lin-cham; and the Vice-Chairman of the District Facilities Management Committee under the EDC, Mr Lam Sum-lim.
North Point Community Hall will commence its services on September 1. Apart from North Point Community Hall, there are five other community halls and a community centre in Eastern District.
