THE PLANNING, PROCEDURAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL AND ORGANISATIONAL ASPECTS OF IMPLEMENTING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (LDC) CONCEPT. THE COMMITTEE BELIEVES THAT THE PROPOSALS ARE NOW SUFFICIENTLY CLEAR FOR AN EARLY DECISION TO BE MADE ON SETTING UP AN LDC TO UNDERTAKE REDEVELOPMENT WORK ON BEHALF OF GOVERNMENT. AN EARLY DECISION IS TAKEN, IT IS HOPED THAT SOME REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS BY THIS NEW APPROACH CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN 1986-87 TO IMPROVE THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

IF

THE PROVISION OF OFFICE SPACE UP TO THE TURN OF THE CENTURY AND THE TRANSPORT IMPLICATIONS OF OVER- CENTRALISATION OF COMMERCIAL OFFICES IN CENTRAL AND THE INNER CITY BUSINESS DISTRICTS. THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT TRANSPORT PLANNING SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF POTENTIAL INTER-ZONAL TRAVEL DEMANDS AND AIM TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR CIRCULATION IN AREAS SUITABLE FOR NEW OFFICE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT.

THE IMPACT OF AUTOMATION ON THE INDUSTRIAL AND OFFICE SECTORS.

THE RELEASE OF VACANT CROWN LAND SITES FOR TEMPORARY USES AND THE PROSPECT OF REZONING UNDEVELOPED GOVERNMENT, INSTITUTIONAL AND COMMUNITY (GIC) SITES.

IN CONCLUSION, THE REPORT STATES THAT IT HAS NOTED THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENTION TO FORM A NEW BUILDING AND LAND ADVISORY COMMITTEE BY MERGING THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON LAND SUPPLY AND THE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

IN ITS PREVIOUS REPORT, THE SCLS STATED THAT ITS ROLE HAD BEEN FULFILLED AND SUGGESTED THAT THE GOVERNMENT CARRY OUT A REVIEW OF THE COMMITTEE.

THE REPORT IS ON SALE AT THE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS CENTRE AT $20.
