NOTES ON DESIGNS

Typescript in Australian Archives, ACT, Series CP487/6/1, Item 1.

This description of a plan by an unidentified competitor indicates that it combined grid and radial streets to produce blocks that were square and hexagonal. Perhaps the author had come across the published proposals for the hexagonal system by the Austrian, Rudolf Muller or the American, Charles Rollinson Lamb. One competitor whose plan has survived used the hexagonal pattern, but in all other respects this description fails to fit that design.
