The purpose of this Scheme is to allow disputes occurring in the private estates and neighbourhood to be resolved in an amicable manner rather than resorting to courts for resolution. 

Community mediators who are mainly grassroots leaders currently deal with community and social conflicts in public housing estates.  SISV mediators handle technical conflicts relating to real estate and construction disputes.  This Scheme takes advantage of the respective skills and expertise of these mediators to better resolve conflicts in management corporations and private estates jointly.  It will benefit residents and occupants in these private developments and help to promote good neighbourliness and community cohesion.  This Scheme will only deal with relational disputes such as quarrels, environmental problems arising from noise or leakage, use of common facilities, and disagreements with Council members and residents.
