Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.
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.
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.
