Northern Metropolis exhibition hall | Wan Chai exhibition hall originally costing $600–700 million halted after being proposed in Policy Address; Development Bureau: not an appropriate time to proceed
北都展館｜施政報告提出 原造價 6 至 7 億元灣仔展館被煞停 發展局：非合適時機推展
Following the suspension of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision plan, the Wan Chai North Exhibition Hall project, originally estimated to cost about $600–700 million and intended to showcase major infrastructure projects, has also been halted. The project was proposed in the 2023 Policy Address. Last year, it was questioned in the Legislative Council over whether its cost was excessive and unnecessary, and whether its site was inappropriate. The Northern Metropolis Facebook page said in a post last night (2nd) that, having listened to views from the community and the Legislative Council and considered priorities for work and resource allocation, it believed that “the present is not an appropriate time” to proceed with the project.
繼「明日大嶼」計劃暫停後，原估算造價約六至七億元、用作介紹大型建設計劃的灣仔北展覽館項目，亦告煞停。該項目是 2023 年《施政報告》提出，去年在立法會被質疑造價貴不必要、選址不當等，北部都會區 FB 專頁昨晚（2日）發文，指聽取到社會和立法會意見、考慮工作和資源調配優次後，認為「現階段非適合時機」推展項目。
