Hoidick from inmediahk.net quoted from the planning department in a public forum that the future People Liberation Army Berth in Central waterfront, wouldn't be opened to public access (zh). Earlier on, top government official openly said that the PLA berth would be opened to public access when it is not in operation. However, assistant department head from the planning department said that when the berth was not in use, it wouldn't obstruct the public to access other parts of the waterfront, while itself would not be opened.
