Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Rowntree:
Yes. I have experience in land assembly, in moving residential housing platforms forward. These would not be done on a three-year cycle, but on a five to 15-year cycle in the main - five-year short-term provisions for immediacy and 15 to 20 years for longer-term provisions. This is effectively about the capacity for people to live. A mapping exercise of that nature gives an indication as to where the need is and how that can be mapped over what is available. If lands are not available, the need has to be displaced somewhere else. That is the reality of it.
