Location selection process for ICCMWs. This figure illustrates the current location selection process for ICCMWs, which starts with the identification of stakeholders from the neighbourhood in which the ICCMW is to be established. These stakeholders may include DC members, residents’ representatives, and religious organisations.

If no strong opposition is expressed by the community stakeholders, the project may be presented for discussion in the DC general meetings. However, this is not applicable to all cases, and it depends on the number of DC members that are interested in discussing the issue. Subsequently, the SWD and the service provider should launch a series of consultation activities in the neighbourhood, including meeting with the members of the Estate Management Advisory Committee and engaging with the residents of the neighbourhood by through leisure activities, seminars on mental wellness, and other kinds of community development exercises. After collecting the opinions from the community leaders, politicians, and individual residents, the SWD decides whether the proposed ICCMW could be successfully established in the neighbourhood.
