According to the EM&A
Manual, a Landscape Architect or related professional shall be employed to
audit the implementation of landscape construction works particularly during
site clearance operations when the proposed tree felling and transplanting will
take place and subsequent maintenance operations. Site audits should be
undertaken every week during the construction phase to check that the proposed
landscape and visual mitigation measures are properly implemented and
maintained as per their intended objectives. The mitigation measure recommended
in the EIA Report as the audit requirements for landscape and visual, including: preservation of existing vegetation,
transplanting of affected trees, compensatory tree planting, control of
night-time lighting glare, erection of decorative screen hoarding and
management of construction activities and facilities are summarized in Appendix J.
To monitor and audit the
implementation of landscape and visual mitigation measures for Contract
DC/2019/10, 5 weekly landscape and visual
site audits were carried out on 3, 9, 17, 24 and 30 June 2026.
For Contract DE/2020/01, 1 site audit was carried on 11
June 2026 and there is
no landscape or visual impact for the indoor works under Contract DE/2020/01.
No outstanding issues were reported
