Four hundred and eighty (480) temporary structures used for domestic purposes will have to be cleared. These structures are occupied by some 600 families who, if found eligible, will be offered public housing and may also be eligible for ex-gratia domestic removal allowance of up to $1,000 per family. If no public housing within the district is available, those families eligible for public housing will receive space in a local temporary housing area together with ex-gratia domestic removal allowance. Families not eligible for public housing
will be offered local temporary housing area accommodation and may also be eligible for ex-gratia domestic removal allowance. Funds for this purpose are available within the compensation vote of the Housing Department.

The institution of formal resumption proceedings is recommended to avoid delays caused by absentee landowners or succession difficulties. As the land to be resumed lies within the boundaries of the New Town, the owners of agricultural and orchard land will be offered the alternative of land exchange entitlements on letter B terms with a credit of $10 per square foot or cash compensation which will include an ex-gratia sum to bring the total compensation up to $17 per square foot if the cash offer is accepted prior to the expiry of the resumption notice. Owners of building land will also be offered land exchange entitlements or cash compensation. The amount of cash compensation to be paid out will be reduced to the extent that land exchange entitlements are accepted.
