Thinking of buying a property?

You’ve been planning this for a long time; you just have to decide on a place to buy. Whatever it is you’re after, there are some other things you may want to consider.

It’s my slice of paradise.
I can do what I want – can’t I?

Your slice of paradise is probably in a community where people live, play, shop and work.

The things you do on your property can affect those living around you, just as their activities can affect you.

Rules in your district and/or regional plan tell you:

  • what activities you can do
  • what activities you can’t do
  • what restrictions there may be on your activities so they don’t damage the environment.
