Executive Council spokesman Leong Heng Teng said yesterday the government has decided that the Urban Planning Council will be chaired by the director of the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT), while the Traffic Consultative Council will be headed by the director of the Transport Bureau (DSAT).

The government’s decision will amend the by-laws (administrative regulations) regulating the operations of the two government-appointed councils, as both are currently chaired by the policy secretary for transport and public works, according to Leong.

Addressing a press conference at Government Headquarters, Leong insisted that the changes are aimed at enabling the government to respond to the opinions raised in the respective advisory bodies more effectively.
