Zoning

G1 — Open space with recreation

Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.

M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.

N1.5 — Airport

Tied to the efficient operation and development of the airport under its own plan — which also means aircraft noise contours apply.

N2.1 — Strategic infrastructure

Land tied to a national or strategic asset (airport, port, rail corridor). Uses are controlled by that asset's own plan.

R2 — Existing residential

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.
