Zoning

C6 — Waterfront

Zoned for waterfront and harbour-related development.

G4 — Open space

Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.

M3 — Neighbourhood centre

A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.

O1 — Green belt and strategic open land

Land zoned to keep urban areas apart. Development is strongly resisted.

R1 — New residential

Zoned for new residential communities. This is where large housing schemes are expected to go, subject to the social and physical infrastructure arriving with them.

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.
