The Tamar Development project is an intricately 
composed Government Complex, integrating three 
principal buildings and the landscaped Civic Park.  The 
design concept of the Tamar Development embodies four 
themes: Openness, Enjoyment, Sustainability, and 
Communication. And above all, it is about the spirit of 
sharing: how a prime site in the centre of the city could 
be shared not only by 3 branches of government, but also 
by the public in such a way that all parties could function 
without under interference from one another, while at the 
same time sharing the common attribute of the city, i.e. 
the harbour and the waterfront. Therefore, the Legislative 
Council Complex and the Chief Executive’s Office are 
located on either sides of the site, flanking the Civic Park 
and angling towards the Waterfront to provide a gesture 
of unity for the whole development.
