The Scheme is divided into five sections as follows: SECTION 1: GENERAL SECTION 2: RESIDENTIAL SECTION 3: INDUSTRIAL SECTION 4: COMMERCIAL SECTIONS: . RECREATION With the exception of the General Section which has application to the whole scheme, each section is autonomous and contains all matters relevant to that section. The five sections constitute the full review to the Onehunga Borough District Scheme. Once operative each section will be reviewed in tum or as need dictates. No one section will be left un-reviewed for more than five years and periodically the whole review will be re-examined and published afresh. An explanation is provided for most ordinances, printed in smaller type face down the right hand margin of the page. This explanation forms part of the Scheme Statement and gives the intent of ,each ordinance. The explanation will be taken into account in assessing dispensations or other applications. Explanation statements should be read in conjunction with the zone and area statement and with any general policy having relevance to the particular ordinance. Although prepared in a number of autonomous sections the District Scheme forms an integrated package of zones and controls. For this reason in assessing applications, reference will be had to all relevant sections of the District Scheme. 1.2 THE BOROUGH OF ONEHUNGA 1.2.1 Location and Area The District Planning Scheme covers the whole of the Borough of Onehunga and comprises an area of 824.88 hectares (2038 acres).
