Hong Kong Government Gazette

Published by the Government Logistics Department (GLD), it acts as an official channel to promulgate information which is required for statutory or other reasons to be made public,[1] including legislation, ordinances, appointments of major officials and public notices.

Gazette Extraordinaries might also be published in between regular issues to carry important notices.

Gazette Extraordinaries were previously published on need basis, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, these have been increased to a daily basis so that statutory notices of compulsory COVID-19 testing for specific groups of people could be promulgated.

The current form of Hong Kong's government gazette began on 24 September 1853 when the Hongkong Government Gazette (香港政府憲報) started publication, following a proclamation by William Caine, the Colonial Secretary, that it would become "the only Official Organ of Proclamations, Notifications, and all Public Papers of this Government".
