Zoning at the site

Zone Z2 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

G5 — Open space and amenity

Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services.

Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

R2 — Existing residential

Z1: Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.

An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
