Hang Hau lies in the north of the Tseung Kwan O new town, where a number of indigenous villages remain; the Hang Hau Rural Committee, together with the Sai Kung District Rural Committee, serves the district, coordinating village affairs, liaising between the government and residents and safeguarding traditional village rights. In the 7th Sai Kung District Council Lau chairs the Traffic and Transport Committee and sits on the Community Involvement, Culture and Recreation Committee, advising on traffic, transport and community affairs in Tseung Kwan O and Hang Hau, where the growth of the new town has made transport links and road facilities a focus for residents. Under the District Councils Ordinance, each of the nine New Territories district councils has ex officio seats filled by rural committee chairmen. On 12 December 2023 the government announced the appointed and ex officio members of the 7th District Council and confirmed the registration of 27 incumbent rural committee chairmen, with Lau among them; he took office on 1 January 2024 for a four-year term. He has also taken part in exchanges with community service bodies on elderly and mental-health services, with a focus on support for the elderly in the district. The Sai Kung District Council has 32 members. Apart from these council and community duties, limited public information is available about his personal and professional background.
