Persons who aged 60 or above, full-time students, or disabled persons are eligible for concessionary rates. LCSD shall not
allow a hirer to use a facility if he/she is not eligible for concessionary rate but has nonetheless booked the facility with
concessionary rate by claiming to be so eligible.
(b) Except where the hirer is a disabled person, in order to enjoy concessionary rates for the use of facilities, the hirer and all
his/her partner(s) should be eligible for concessions. Subject to Condition 5(c) below, if any partner(s) of the hirers are found
not eligible for concessions, the hirer will be required to immediately top up the shortfall between concessionary rate and
normal rate. Failure to do so will result in those users who are not eligible for concessions being required to leave the facility.
(c) Disabled persons are eligible to use the booked session(s) at concessionary rates with the company of an accompanying carer
with a maximum ratio at 1:1. Accompanying carers of disabled persons when using facilities that require payment by
individual hirers/users are also eligible for concessionary rate on a ratio at 1:1.
(d) Hirers/users enjoying concessionary rates are required to produce proof of eligibility for concession, e.g. student cards,
registration card for persons with disabilities, Senior Citizen card issued by the Social Welfare Department or identity card for
verification at the check-in counter before using the facilities or during the booked session.
(e) Full-time students may present valid student identity card, student handbook or relevant document provided by school (but not
limit to the above documents). Personalised Octopus Card with "Student Status" is not accepted as identity proof for student
status. If the validity period is not specified on the student identity card, the venue staff on duty reserve the right to request the
student concerned to provide other evidence to prove his/her student status.
When taking part in water activities, craft users should wear suitable clothing and gear (such as swimming suits, swimming trunks,
spectacle bands, sun caps, light, fit, breathable long-sleeved clothes); and toe and heel-protected rubber shoes suitable for water
sports (slippers or sandals are not allowed), and life jackets or buoyancy aids provided by the centres.
Any craft users who fail to meet the requirements as stipulated in conditions 1 to 6 above will not be allowed to use the craft.
Each Craft Hiring Booking Form should be used for hiring one craft only, except the one for the parent/guardian who will
accompany the craft user aged below 14 for taking part in water sport activities.
All applications will be confirmed only upon received the craft rental. Participants should keep their receipts / permits until the end
of the activity.
Craft users must return the craft and accessories punctually. Rigging and de-rigging should be taken part within the craft hiring
period. Late return of craft will incur additional hiring fee (at an hourly rate).
Craft users must return all hired equipment to the centres before departure. Should there be any damage or loss, craft users must
report to the centre staff immediately. The centres reserve the right to claim damages against any hirers whose improper use of the
equipment has resulted in damage or loss of the equipment.
