Mistakingly thought the underground tunnel beneath this ventilation shaft links to Government House Tunnel. 

Thank David for correcting this. Please see David's comment for its true underground location.

It has been described in posts https://gwulo.com/ARP-tunnels-in-central and https://gwulo.com/node/1747. The view in 2021:

Hi,

The Government House Tunnel (Network No. 8) is further up the hill, and is not linked to this shaft.

Instead, this ventilation shaft ran down to a connecting tunnel that ran between Network No. 1 (Queen's Road Central) and Network No. 13 (Wyndham Street). 

Regards, David

Hi David,

Thanks for correcting this. Hurried through some tunnel nodes and thought they might be all connected in this area.

Revised the title and text thanks to your elaborations.

Cheers,

Chen
