    Zoning at the site

    M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

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

    Residential 1 - Existing Residential: To protect and enhance the amenity of developed residential communities.

    Residential 2: To provide for new residential development, residential services and community facilities. Housing Density approximately 12-25 houses per Hectare.

    A small rural settlement where only modest infill serving local need is envisaged.
