    Zoning at the site

    C3 — High technology

    Enterprise and Employment: This zoning promotes the development of employment uses that reinforce the enterprise and employment function of the subject area as a whole and require high environmental and design standards.

    Zoned for office, research and development and high-technology manufacturing.

    G5 — Open space and amenity

    Open Space, Amenity and Recreation: Shall be taken to include the use of land for; parks, public woodland, pedestrian routes and greenways, riparian zones, housing estate open spaces, development incidental to the enjoyment of open space.

    Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

    M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

    Village Centre/Mixed Use: The purpose of this zoning is to maintain the vitality and viability of existing town and village centres by developing and consolidating centres with an appropriate mix of commercial, recreational, cultural, amenity and residential uses.

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

    R1 — New residential

    New Residential: This zoning shall be taken to primarily include the use of land for new residential units. It may also provide for a range of other uses particularly those that have the potential to foster the development of new residential communities.

    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

    Existing Residential: This zoning allows for the conservation and enhancement of the quality and character of existing residential areas, to protect residential amenities and to allow for small scale infill development.

    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.

    S5 — Sustainable neighbourhood infrastructure

    Community Services/Facilities: The purpose of this zoning is to protect, provide and allow expansion of a wide range of different community facilities, civic facilities and social services, from educational, childcare and health facilities to places of worship and community centres.

    Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.

    Designations within 250 m
