Colony Outline Plan
5.21. A Secretariat General Circular was issued in August 1965 setting out the constitution and terms of reference of the various working committees and the procedure to be adopted in the preparation of the Colony Outline Plan. Many difficulties have been met during the detailed compilation of basic survey information and in preparing it in a form suitable for presentation. However, by the end of the year most of these had been overcome and Book I comprising three volumes was all but complete and available for circulation to members of Working Committees.
Town Planning Board
5.22. The Town Planning Board met on ten occasions dealing mainly with the Castle Peak and Sha Tin Outline Zoning Plans, both of which were approved for publication by the end of the year. The zoning plans follow the lines of earlier Feasibility Reports and provide the framework for future new towns each with an ultimate population approaching one million persons.
