This page is under development - it aims to provide links to information about what the North Shore City Council, and previous councils such as Birkenhead City and Northcote Borough Councils, had done to preserve our natural environment and to guarantee the expectations of people who bought into the area.
Some excerpts from the NSCC District Plan are attached below.
See in particular section "16.4.2.1 Residential 2A: Native Bush Areas" and "16.4.2.2 Residential 2B Zone: Amenity Areas" of the document "section16-residential.pdf".
