Sports Minister Rosanna Law announced the government is conducting a technical feasibility study for the redevelopment of Victoria Park Centre Court. The proposal, mentioned in the latest Policy Address, is to transform the venue into an all-weather, multi-purpose space capable of hosting larger-scale, higher-level sports events and performances.
Law further explained that the future redesign would include a retractable roof, as high-level tennis tournaments necessitate outdoor play. The authorities are exploring faster construction methods that do not exceed budget constraints. Law expressed optimism about initiating design work promptly and commencing construction within the first five-year plan period.
Even if construction begins in three or four years, she remains confident in completing the project by the start of the forthcoming five-year plan period. While the revamp unfolds, large-scale tennis competitions may take place at Hong Kong Stadium.
