The government will launch a two-month public consultation on Monday about the ongoing cultural heritage evaluation of Coloane’s Lai Chi Vun Village and its traditional shipyards.
A press conference about the public consultation was held yesterday at the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) in Praça do Tap Seac. The public consultation will end on March 22. Three public sessions will be held during the consultation period.
The bureau announced during a special press conference in March last year that it decided to initiate a cultural heritage evaluation of the village and its shipyards. The announcement came one week after an ad-hoc concern group for the preservation of the village and its shipyards petitioned the bureau to start an evaluation process.
