ed projects between government departments,

State agencies, local authorities, other public

bodies, communities and, where appropriate,

ment of a new Library, the development of
Sessions House, the enhancement of Lowe and

Logan Street including the provision of new foot-

paths, road surfacing ,lighting and the develop-
