In response to concerns associated with the 'hand over' to a developer of the management of those new cultural assets, Swire proposes that the developer be located at 'arms length' by early establishment of an Arts Development Trust. The Trust will receive pre-agreed developer 'seed' contributions and thereafter manage recurrent funding and operations. The three component groups – Theatres, Museum, and Performance Venue operate under one statutory authority via a Board of Governors that is entitled to first call on income derived from the Trust to offset any annual deficits. All land utilised in the Swire proposal in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui will remain in Government ownership and be used for public benefit.
