foreseeable future. On 1 April, 1968 there
were fifteen cottage areas with a population
of 86,000. Many of the buildings in these
areas were put up by the settlers themselves
but a number of welfare and non-profit making
non-profit
organisations have since constructed a very
large number of such buildings. Gradually
these areas are being re-developed and the
present occupants of cottage resettlement areas
needed for transit centres or permanent
development are given priority in the
allocation of resettlement accommodation, the
population in these areas at the end of 1969
being 57,568.
