Zoning
Zoned for waterfront and harbour-related development.
Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.
Land zoned to keep urban areas apart. Development is strongly resisted.
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.
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.
