Zoning at the site
Zone Z9 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028
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.
Z12: Institutional Land (Future Development Potential): To ensure existing environmental amenities are protected in the predominantly residential future use of these lands.
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.
Z15: Community and Social Infrastructure: To protect and provide for community uses and social infrastructure.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
