the preparation of planning schemes and reports and their presentation to various committees;
(ii) the reservation of land for Government and community use;
(iii) advice on development schemes.
Research, the collection and analysis of statistics, and staff training were carried out to support work in each of these categories. A statement of the current position of the main planning schemes circulated during the year is given at Appendix K.
4.44. All three categories have been active during the year and work was particularly heavy in respect of the first group, details of which are given below in the sections dealing with the Town Planning Board and the Land Development Planning Committee.
4.45. The number of visitors received in the Division during the year increased yet again, indicating world-wide professional interest in the development taking place in Hong Kong.
Colony Outline Plan
4.46. Little progress was made in connexion with the Colony Outline Plan due to delay in recruitment of the Senior Planning Officer. However, a start was made in the preparation of base plans and the collection of relevant statistics; a topographical model of the Colony was constructed. A paper setting out the objectives of the plan and outlining the method of work and organization proposed was submitted at the end of the year.
Town Planning Board
4.47. The Town Planning Board again met on 8 occasions. Most of its time was directed towards the completion of the Outline Development Plans for (a) Tsuen Wan and District and (b) Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau, which were approved by the Governor in Council during the year. The statutory plans for North Point and Chai Wan, both of which had been approved in 1958 and required amendment, were referred back to the Board by the Governor in Council for review and revised plans, deemed suitable in accordance with section 5 of the Town Planning Ordinance, were awaiting publication at the end of the year.
4.48. The statutory plan for Northeast Kowloon was amended in detail to facilitate a new Housing Authority Estate at Ping Shek Tsuen and opportunity taken to incorporate a number of other minor amendments. The revised plan was approved by the Governor in Council early in 1964.
