Zoning
Zone Z4 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.
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.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.
