(b) the need for the establishment of a body of land administration principles in accordance with which land may be transferred to developers' hands, be they private or public, in an orderly and recognized manner so as to give effect to Government development policy;
(c) the need for flexibility of approach both to land use planning and the implementation of development policy so as to ensure quick and effective response to changes in economic climate and social need.
3.26 The forward planning of the Survey Branch of the Crown Lands and Survey Office is directed to the preparation and updating of a variety of maps and plans sufficient to serve the needs of public and private developers and the Community as a whole. In doing this, efforts are made to employ the most suitable modern techniques and equipment both for field survey and for reprographic processes in the Drawing Office.
3.27 The Planning Branch bases its work on the need to meet the demands of a population growing both in number and sophistication. It uses data provided by the Census and Statistics Department and other departments and from field research to assess the forward requirements of the community and translates these requirements into the provision of outline development and layout plans of land for communications and for industrial, residential and community development throughout the Colony.
3.28 The Land Branch is responsible for a large body of routine work concerned with land and property and its management and valuation; it gives effect to Government decisions by transferring Crown Land into the hands of developers both public and private. Its forward planning is based on known commitments for regrant and renewal of Crown leases and the potential property management commitment arising therefrom, on the expected demand for and availability of new Crown Land for disposal and on the need to give effect to certain new forms of development policy such as Urban Renewal, long term highway development and Mass Transit Communications, provision for Containerization of Cargo etc. in addition to the need for long term reclamation and land formation schemes, to anticipate long term demand for Crown Land for permanent development.
