The good response demonstrates the importance which

the public attributes to the future development of

the Victoria Barracks land and in this connection

the Committee welcomed the many constructive comments

made by the press. It is possible that the use of

a "Layout Plan" instead of a zoning plan might have

helped spur public reaction. On the other hand,

this plan with its illustrated development was taken

by some members of the public to be the Committee's

architectural planning proposals for the barracks

area whereas the Committee had only aimed at the

production of a land use zoning plan.
