Referring to the proposed consultancy, the
spokesman said that the future use of Flagstaff
House, the retention of which was favoured by the
Government, would be included in the study. The
Urban Council's advice would be sought on the terms
of reference for the consultancy in view of the
Council's experience and interest in this field and
because the area would supplement facilities already
provided by the Council.
Commenting on the announcement, the
Secretary for the Environment, Mr. Derek Jones,
expressed the Government's appreciation of the
valuable contribution made by the Victoria Barracks
Planning Committee, many of whose ideas,he said,
had been embodied in the final plan. The Planning
Committee's final report is also published today.
Copies of the approved plan and press release are
being exhibited in City District Offices.
