On that last point, I see it as very important for the development of the strategy that we know the lands third level institutions have access to and that there is some incentive - in accordance with their zoning - for these lands to be used for student accommodation. All the third level institutions have their own infrastructure plans and want to see enhanced education facilities. Given the shortfall we are experiencing, however, we must ensure the development of accommodation is equal to future university plans.
