Rural Subdivision

Countryside Living zones are zones on the outskirts of Auckland where provision is made for rural living on small blocks, typically between 1ha and 5ha, depending on the area.

The Auckland Unitary Plan, as it relates to the rural zones, is coming close to the end of a lengthy development process. Furthermore, the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater became operative late last year, and these now need to be considered during subdivision and development proposals. Find out more.
