     The extent of the area affected is described in a notice published in the Government Gazette today (July 27).

     The notice together with its related plan are posted on notice boards near the site. The plan can be seen and purchased on order at the Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands Department, 23rd Floor, North Point Government Offices, 333 Java Road, North Point.
