A comprehensive Master Plan has been completed and indicates a commercially viable Development.

There is considerable financial support from institutions who wish to invest in the development.

It provides appreciable external financial and staff resources support to Government in helping them to achieve their land and housing policies.

The unit costs of the development are less than any other alternative Government proposal.

(9) The timing of the Development coincides with an identifiable

deficiency in Government's land production and housing plans.

There are many other advantages as can be seen from a study of the documents submitted.
