Notes:
* Figures indicate payments made in Monetized Letter B, i.e. Revenue foregone.

# Figures in blankets denote the new series of 'private treaty grant' statistics which have been adopted since 1986. Figures for the new series are on 'Agreement' basis, i.e. land disposal based on the date on which the offer of a grant of land by Government is accepted by the grantee; whereas those for the old series refer to the 'Approval' basis, i.e. land disposal based on the date on which a grant is approved by Executive Council or its delegated function. To facilitate comparison with past data, the old series will be published in parallel with the new series in 1986 after which it will be discontinued.

+ Figures includes 210000 square metres of sea area.

@ Figures include the sale of FSS TL 17 (Area 3372m2 @ a premium of $28M) which was cancelled on 10.11.87 due to non-payment of balance of premium ($27M).
