Legislative Council Panel on Transport Parking Policy
Dear Transport and Housing Bureau Transport Matters,
I'm writing to find out which department is responsible for receiving complaints and for the enforcement of the Legislative Council Panel on Transport Parking Policy.
I'm an motorcyclist in HK and aware that Motorbikes outnumber parking spaces 2:1 .
As I understand, under the Parking Policy, the HK government try to provide more spaces ... e.g. new office buildings need to provide 5-10% of their parking spaces to Motorcycles.
However, looking into the list " OFF-STREET MOTORCYCLES PARKING DETAILS AS AT 2020.08.31 " provided under the following link (https://accessinfo.hk/en/request/motorcy...)
... many buildings listed seams to ignore or violate the Policy and do not provide a single motorcycle space.
Where can I complain if no parking spaces are provided and who do enforce the Policy!?
Yours faithfully,
Florian Wollitz

Dear Mr Wollitz,
Thank you for your email to Transport and Logistics Bureau (“TLB”) on 30
Aug 2023. Please note that the Traffic Management Section of the TLB, as
well as the Strategic Studies Branch of the Transport Department (“TD”)
are responsible for formulating and taking forward parking policy, as well
as responding to public enquiries about parking-related issues.
As regards your concerns about motorcycle parking provision, please rest
assured that we have been reviewing the current standards for motorcycle
parking spaces under the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines
(HKPSG) and have made appropriate amendments having regard to factors such
as the parking demand and socio‑economic situation. At present, the
standard of motorcycle parking spaces for non-residential developments is
set at a rate of 5 to 10 per cent of the total provision for private
cars. If there are any non-compliance in the number of parking spaces,
the enforcement and prosecution will be undertaken by the Lands
Department. We are happy to refer your complaint to the Lands Department
for follow-up if you would provide us with the locations concerned.
Noting that the number of motorcycles has increased substantially in
recent years, which is probably due to the upsurge of demands for meal
delivery and courier services in a short period of time during the
epidemic, we will keep in view whether the situation persists after the
epidemic, and timely review the standard of motorcycle parking provision
under the HKPSG for revision as necessary.
Thank you again for your attention to the above policy areas.

Dear Mr. Wollitz,
Your mail dated 12 Sep 2023 is received with thanks. Thank you for
letting us know the location of the commercial building concerned, namely
Landmark East, 100 -102 How Ming Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon (“Landmark
East”). As checked with the Transport Department, the number of ancillary
motorcycle provision in the approved building plan submission of Landmark
East is 24, which is in line with the relevant standards in Hong Kong
Planning Standards and Guidelines. Since the developer has fulfilled the
responsibility for providing the number of motorcycle parking spaces in
Landmark East in principle, we have referred the case to the Lands
Department ([1][email address]) for further investigation and
enforcement action as appropriate.
