Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.
The main town centre — retail, offices, civic uses, apartments.
Tied to the efficient operation and development of the airport under its own plan — which also means aircraft noise contours apply.
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 civic, religious, community, education, health-care and social infrastructure.
