effectiveness.
A considerable amount of work has been done and not only are improvements in each of these areas becoming apparent but greater results are expected in the future.
3.28
A high proportion of the construction work of this Office has to fit in with plans of others which are already well developed and this has a considerable effect on the type of forward planning which can be adopted. In such instances, this means providing general information on the facilities which would be required for various kinds of plant and attempting to ensure that these facilities are incorporated into schemes from their inception. This is done so that E. & M. work can be fitted in, in the usually limited time available.
3.29
When longer timescales are required in both the Operation and Maintenance Division and the Design and Projects Division for planning in connection with the provision by the former of future services which will be adequate and timely, and the construction of major plants by the latter. Thus, for the former, extensions to both Caroline Hill and Sung Wong Toi Workshops are in train, together with further Vehicle Servicing Stations, to provide the level of services required in the mid and late 70's. At the same time, workshops management has been re-organised so that overhauls can be pre-planned, in such a way as to fit the needs of the equipment while facilities are kept in line with anticipated workloads.
3.30
A similar timescale is required in the consideration of future incinerator plants, electrical and mechanical services in future tunnels, etc. In most of such schemes, the provision of sites meeting environmental requirements has proved to be a major problem to be overcome, and even when overcome, has a great influence on the configuration finally adopted.

LAND AND PLANNING
In carrying out the responsibilities of survey, mapping, town planning, and the development and control of land, three factors are kept firmly to the fore:
(a) the need for continuous preparation and updating of survey maps and planning layouts which are basic to all forms of land development;
(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, expeditious, and recognised 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 needs.

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
