Streamline the application for Places of Amusement Licences

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) has streamlined and standardised the application forms and documentation requirements for Places of Amusement Licences (applicable to Billiard Establishments, Public Bowling-alleys and Public Skating Rinks) in 2020 and 2021, which includes the merging of application forms, providing an e-submission option and a checklist on the supporting documents required, thus reducing applicants’ time and administrative burden for the submissions.

Besides, the LCSD also relaxes the specification requirements of moveable furniture items on layout plans. This reduces the need for applicants to submit alteration applications, hence saving the administrative efforts for the trades and the Government in handling the alteration applications.
