Proposed Land Use Intentions Maps

The Proposed Land Use Intentions as adopted by Council can be downloaded by clicking on the relevant area below :

Statements of Intent

Statements of Intent provide a statement of the desired future development of an area. Effectively they are a policy statement with regard to the type of development which shall be permitted or encouraged in an area. They still need to be expanded to first include performance criteria and finally the detailed land use which would include bulk and space about buildings. This will be the subject of the next phase namely amending the scheme refer figure 1 page 3 (Call Brian Widdowson on (031) 3002159 for more details). Thus the end product of the Berea project will be a planning scheme with the ability to manage development in terms of impact, performance and use.

It is therefore necessary at this stage to compile statements of intent for each zone. These statements will start as a general intent covering broad land use categories and will become more detailed as the zone is broken down further into districts and ultimately precincts. It must be noted that each zone, district or precinct may not necessarily be contiguous areas but rather describe a category becoming more specific with scale.
