33.5cm x 20.5cm. 49 pages, 17 pages carbon copies, illustrations, some colour, maps. Side-stapled wrappers.

A working copy of the plan, a form of which was published in 1965. The wrappers are annotated ‘Final Amended Text’ and ‘Please Return to Secretary’. The first carbon copy is a variant contents list and is headed ‘Cabinet Edition’. There are extensive amendments throughout the text. The carbon copies constitute a new Chapter 3 on Transport and Services. Three imagined views of Lake Burley-Griffin by Kenneth Jack are included.

Very minor chipping, creasing and soiling to wrappers, staple holes to crown edge. The carbon copies are rather fragile and some have minor to moderate chipping, with no loss of text, except for one page. Good Condition.
