Annex 6

Planning Concept

22.

In the main, the Committee has come down

heavily in favour of a park and revised much of its

earlier thinking. About eighty percent of the

planning area is now given over to open space use.

It is recommended that a new Supreme Court building

and a prestigious new Government Secretariat should

be sited within the western section in an area of

cultural and historical interest where environmental

amenities and the attractive garden of Flagstaff

House would provide a park-like setting like that

of the Parliament Building in Kuala Lumpur though

on a smaller scale. Institutional and community

activities are concentrated at the eastern end

while commercial facilities are proposed along

the Queensway frontage. The Committee's planning

concept is shown graphically at Annex 6 from which

a land use zoning plan has been prepared.

23. Revised Planning Proposals

23.1.

Open Space: The open space provision

has been increased in the final

proposals by including the area

initially zoned for a school and

the whole of the residential zoning
