To ensure that land subdivision results in allotments that are suitable for activities anticipated by the zone and that existing activities and resources in the vicinity of the site are not unreasonably compromised. |

Subdivision is a legal definition of ownership. Ownership of a title may provide the ability to operate an activity. Sustainable management includes the creation of titles that are usable.
Usable must include the provision of a safe building platform, effective sewerage disposal and site access.
Consideration will also be given to future activities such as urban growth or wetland restoration, people and associated amenity values, natural and physical resources and the constraints of natural hazards.
Council's servicing strategy and contributions policy must not be compromised by ad hoc servicing requests.
The form of subdivision can affect the manner in which land is used. The allied objectives and policies of the Plan must not be compromised particularly those associated with natural hazards, transportation and amenity values.
The Council is a signatory to the Urban Design Protocol and the consideration of the key principles of the Urban Design Protocol and the National Guidelines for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design will contribute to the enhancement of the community through good quality urban design.

To achieve subdivision in Precinct F, Matamata that provides a high standard of amenity, walkability, safety and convenience, provides a range of densities and contributes to the creation of a positive sense of place and identity reflecting the ‘garden city’ character of Matamata. |
P5 |
To ensure that subdivision within Precinct F Matamata:
- contributes to the implementation of the structure plan and provides a high quality of amenity and urban design.
- provides an integrated and connected road, walkway and reserve network including establishing a collector road between Station Road and Hinuera Road / Firth Street, while ensuring that safety at the Hinuera / State Highway 27 intersection is not adversely effected.
- establishes the pedestrian walkway on the boundary of the Precinct and the Rural Zone as a landscape buffer and pedestrian and cycle trail between Station Road and Hinuera Road / Firth Street.
- provides a range of lot sizes and urban densities, with lower density subdivisions adjoining the rural area.
- is accompanied by the provision of appropriate infrastructure and utilises low impact stormwater management techniques to service the needs of an urban area.
- maintains long-term opportunities for the development of the neighbourhood nodes.

The Matamata Precinct F Structure Plan envisages that growth in the residential population in the south-west of the town will be guided by the following general principles:
- That growth of the town within the precinct should be contained within legible boundaries.
- That the precinct should provide a mix of residential densities and housing types, recreational opportunities and neighbourhood convenience activities to support a sustainable neighbourhood.
- That the precinct should develop in an integrated manner, particularly with respect to the road network to support a walkable and connected neighbourhood that integrates with Matamata while not adversely effecting the safety of traffic accessing State Highway 27.
