Use of Facilities Provided by Holders of Private Recreational Leases

Private Recreational Leases (PRLs) are special purpose leases granted to organisations that provide facilities for recreational purposes.

The rights and obligations of holders of PRLs are set out in their leases.  One of the lease conditions requires that a leaseholder, if requested by a “competent authority” (i.e., the Civil Service Bureau, Education Bureau, Home Affairs Bureau, Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Social Welfare Department), should make available specified facilities for the use of eligible outside organisations for organising recreational and sports activities, subject to certain conditions. Any fee, if charged, should be on a cost recovery basis.  Eligible outside organisations are those under the respective purviews of the competent authorities, and may include schools, youth groups, welfare organisations, sports organisations and government departments.

The relevant lease requirement allows a degree of public use of the sports facilities of holders of PRLs so as to help promote sport in Hong Kong.

If any eligible outside organisation is interested in using any of the facilities operated by a holder of a PRL, you may contact us in the first instance at 3509 7068 or 3509 8039.
