The Observatory was honoured to receive the Merit Award of the Departmental Service Enhancement Award 2007 presented at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 13 September.

The award aims to commend government departments which have made significant enhancement in their services, in promoting the image of the department or the government etc. in the past two years.  The adjudication panel includes Legislative and District Councillors, management professionals and representatives of civil servants.  As a small department with only around 300 staff, the Observatory is very proud to win the award.
