Building Rehabilitation Resource Centre

 

Building Rehabilitation Resource Centre 

Building Rehabilitation Resource Centre is a multi-purpose centre providing one-stop building rehabilitation related information and assistance services, including video consultation service, multi-purpose rooms and mediation rooms.

 

The Centre starts providing the second phase of services from 4 July 2023. It is open to the public for free from Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Monday and public holidays). Please refer to the information of opening hours below.

 

The Centre will also provide video consultation service during office hours of weekday i.e., from Tuesday to Friday, from 10:00 to 17:30, so that visitors can chat with URA staff immediately for enquiries about building rehabilitation. At the same time, two “Video Consultation Service Rooms" are also established to allow those who intend to apply for various building rehabilitation subsidy schemes to go through relevant application procedures, fill in the application forms and submit documents online during the above-mentioned office hours of weekday. (The online application system of Integrated Building Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme will undergo system updates and upgrades starting from 1 April and the e-application submission service for the subsidy schemes will be suspended until further notice.)

3.    Scheme for Community Venue for Mediation

The Urban Renewal Authority (“URA”) is supportive of the Government's policy to promote the wider use of mediation to resolve disputes in Hong Kong and extend the use of its mediation rooms at the Rehabilitation Resource Centre (“BRRC”) for the Scheme for Community Venue for Mediation introduced by the Working Group on Mediation chaired by the Secretary for Justice and administered by the Joint Mediation Helpline Office (“JMHO”).

If the mediation meeting is arranged via the JMHO (where the nature of disputes are related to urban renewal, building maintenance and management, property valuation, building and construction; as well as land and property matters in URA’s redevelopment areas and rehabilitation service areas), the Mediation Room is charged at HK$48 per hour (Pro bono mediator may be waived for the room charges).
