The Land Utilization in Hong Kong (LUHK) data is compiled using the updated satellite images, in-house survey information of the Planning Department, and other relevant information from various government departments. As definitions of some land use classes and methodology are updated from time to time, the figures this year may not be directly comparable to those provided in previous years.

Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is responsible for administering the "List of Approved Steel Reinforcing Bar Prefabrication Yards" (the List) according to Development Bureau Technical Circular (Works) No. 10/2018 "Quality Assurance for Use of Off-site Prefabricated Steel Reinforcing Bar Products", which includes assessment and approval of applications for admission to the List, together with management of the List and regulating the performance of the yards on the List.

Central Data Bank (CDB) has been set up to provide lists of building materials, components and construction systems that have been accepted by individual government departments/organisations (the Administrator). Using a building material, component or construction system that appears on the lists shall not be construed as automatic acceptance to a project by the respective department/organisation. Building components are one of the datasets listed in CDB.

The Buildings Department (BD) has established a database of buildings which were demolished after 2022. The information related to the Certificate on Completion of Demolition Works for private buildings submitted by the Authorized Persons and acknowledged by BD has been uploaded to this database.

Funded by the Community Care Fund Assistance Programme provides relocation allowance to residents who have to move out of illegal domestic premises in industrial buildings within a short period of time so as to assist them to pay for the necessary removal expenses. The building list provides for residents of illegal domestic premises in industrial buildings who have to move out due to enforcement action by the Buildings Department.

An oil storage installation is defined in section 2(1) of the Buildings Ordinance as any tank having a capacity of not less than 110,000 litres or a group of tanks (within the same cluster or bunded area) any one of which has a capacity of not less than 110,000 litres, constructed above ground level for the purpose of storing petroleum products. All existing oil storage installations and their associated works should have been licensed under the Building (Oil Storage Installations) Regulations. Any new installation and its associated works will require a licence. List of Oil Storage Installations with licences issued by the BD has been shown on BD website for reference by the public.

The Fire Services Department (FSD), Buildings Department (BD), Lands Department and related departments have been striving to collaborate and take enforcement actions under current legislation against the irregularities identified in Target mini-storage premises (MSP) in the territory, requiring MSP operators and owners to abate potential safety hazards as quickly as possible. At present, when FSD identifies new MSPs coming into operation, joint enforcement action with BD and other related departments will be arranged according to the established mechanism. If irregularities on the fire safety construction (e.g. provision of means of escape, fire-resisting construction, means of access for firefighting and rescue) are identified in target MSPs, BD will issue statutory orders under the Buildings Ordinance (Cap. 123) to owners of target MSPs requiring them to carry out rectification works. BD will also register these orders at the Land Registry, imposing an encumbrance on the register. Members of the public may learn about such irregularities through searching the registers. To enhance transparency of enforcement actions, BD has also compiled a "List of Target MSP without Obvious Irregularities".
