Processing and acceptance of applications for use of amphitheatres, leisure venues for non-designated use, sales activities at non-fee charging leisure venues and road safety towns, are suspended until further notice.
For refund arrangements in relation to venue closures, the hirer may submit a completed refund application form together with the original booking permit to the DLSOs or relevant leisure venues in person or by post, or make use of drop-in boxes located at the DLSOs. The refund application form can be downloaded from www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/aboutlcsd/forms/refund.html. Due to the closure of fee-charging facilities in relation to the situation of COVID-19, the number of refund cases will increase tremendously. The LCSD has adopted measures to handle these refund cases as soon as possible but a prolonged processing time for refunds is expected. Members of the public are advised to note the longer time required for refunds. The department apologises for any inconvenience caused.
