在Unitary Plan 現有版本下 由 Single Housing Zone 開始 Mixed Housing (Urban/ Suburban) 和 Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings Zones "The conversion of a dwelling into a maximum of two dwellings complying with the land use controls in clause 3.3 below" 都是 Permitted Activity - 意思是都是容許的 不需要resource consent 但前提是要符合下面3.3 的規定 (假設各位都會看英文 自己看吧 但簡單而言 主要是):
ART 3 - REGIONAL AND DISTRICT RULES»Chapter I: Zone rules»1 Residential zones»3. Land use controls»3.3 The conversion of a dwelling into two dwellings
1. Where a dwelling is proposed to be converted into two dwellings each dwelling must have a net internal floor area of at least 40m².
2. The second dwelling must:
a. have direct access to an outdoor living space. This space may be exclusive to the dwelling or shared with the primary dwelling
b. have a common wall with the primary dwelling of no less than 3m in length or share a ceiling and/or floor with the primary dwelling
c. comply with the daylight and minimum dimension of principal living rooms and principal bedrooms development controls.
3. The primary dwelling must exist on the date of notification of this Unitary Plan.

Unitary Plan 是將現在整個大奧克蘭原有的7份District Plans 合而為一的統一發展規則 當然包括中區了
