Some of the plans for
the towns of the New Territories have
been prepared under the consultative
procedures established by the Town
Planning Ordinance. There has also
been local discussion of other plans.
In general, Rural Committees are well
aware of the plans for development in
their respective areas. I agree that
there should be consultation and
exchange of views about these plans at
an appropriate time.

With regard to the freezing
of land, landowners in areas of
proposed development may continue to
use their land in accordance with its
existing status. The development
potential of such land arises from
Government's plans for urban develop-

such as roads, water supply, etc. In
order to allow owners of land in the
areas affected by development an
opportunity to surrender their land
before development, a land exchange system known as the "Special Acquisitior,
Area System" was devised. At your
