Yes, there are building control guidelines in place, to ensure that the Park Ridge development is a high-quality residential subdivision, and to ensure the ongoing amenity of the owners and occupiers of the Lots within the Development. You can review our Residential Design Guidelines here.

There will also be a land covenant and consent notice registered against the title to each Lot to ensure compliance with the Design Guidelines and conditions of the Resource Consent for the subdivision.

Each Lot will have water, power, wastewater (see note below) and stormwater connections available at the boundary.

Note:  To reduce pressure on its wastewater infrastructure, Council has required Park Ridge to establish a Low Pressure Sewer System for wastewater.  At the time of construction, each section purchaser will need to buy and have installed an Ecoflow E/One pumping system and smart controller to regulate flow.

Details on the Low Pressure Sewer System available here and in the Residential Design Guidelines available here.

Yes, you can build a flat/unit in addition to the main dwelling. Any flat/unit will need to comply with the relevant provisions in the QLDC District plan. The property cannot be unit-titled or subdivided.
