1.1 Intr
roo d u ct i o n
Taupiri is a small townsh
township of about 450 people on the eastern bank of the Waikato River in the Waikato District of New Zealand. It is guarded
by Taupiri mountain, the sacred burial ground for the Waikato tribes of the Māori people, located just to the north. It is remembered in the tribal
saying:
Ko Waikato te awa
Ko Taupiri te maunga
Ko Te Wherowhero
Wherow te tangata.
Waikato is th
the river
Taupiri is the mountain
Te Wherowhero
Wherowhe is the man.
Many Waikato ancestors and chiefs are buried on Taupiri, including all the Māori kings, and the late queen, Dame Te Ātairangikahu.
Mountain View Estate is located directly adjacent to the existing Taupiri township. The beautiful rural site is located to the
south of Taupiri Mountain
Moun and to the west of the current State Highway 1 corridor. With the construction of the Waikato
Expressway, further to the east, the current portion of SH1 will revert to local road status and traffic numbers, especially large
trucks and commercial vehicles, are anticipated to substantially reduce. Taupiri Mountain directly to the north of the site, is
a key feature in the landscape,
lands and forms a strong focal point and impressive natural backdrop to the development.

1.2 VISION
The design vision for Mountain View Estate is centred on a strong appreciation for the natural environment, and Taupiri settlement’s historic and
cultural narrative.
S pa c e to r el a x a n d en j oy
Mountain View Estate is a place for both young and old. A place where your family will have room to explore and enjoy the environment.
Sustainable design practices are promoted within the estate’s public realm, and active and passive reserve space. Aside from the surrounding
hills and proximity of the Waikato River, the natural gully system running centrally through the site is a key natural landscape feature of the
development. The estate has been carefully designed to protect this valuable natural feature and enhance it, so it is not only visually appealing
for residents, but becomes a functional active recreation spine running throughout the entire development. A shared cycle and walkway network
has been developed linking the gully network to reserve spaces within the estate and the wider open space network. Residents are encouraged
to enjoy the landscape amenity and active recreation opportunities offered within the estate.
A sa fe a n d s ec u r e c o m m u n i t y
It is important your residential environment has a feeling of safety and security. It is important that you feel safe within your home and within
the Mountain View Estate community.
The principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) have been embedded within the design of the estate. This is reflected
in the way that the design guidelines control things like lot fencing, boundary treatments, street interfaces and planting. We want to ensure that
we not only create a visually appealing residential community, we also want it to be safe and secure for your family.

At Mountain View Estate we have created a neighbourhood you will be proud of and look forward to coming home to. Upon arrival at the estate
you will be greeted by lush plantings and well-designed entry feature walls. We have created tree-lined streets, each with their own character,
streetscape features, LED street lighting, and a network of shared paths and footpaths that wind throughout the estate. Mountain View Estate has
been carefully designed to reflect the natural character and heritage of Taupiri. Sensitivity to the environment and a tangible sense of community
will make Mountain View Estate a unique place to live.
1.3 P u r po s e o f t h e G u i d eli n es
It is our intention to develop Mountain View Estate as a modern and well designed residential lifestyle community. To make sure that we achieve
this desired outcome, a level of supervision and control is required to protect the interest of all future residents in relation to the nature and type
of construction that is permitted within the development.
This required level of control will be achieved in the form of design guidelines and covenants which each Purchaser will need to comply to when
building within the estate.
1.4 W h o s h o u ld U s e t h e G u i d eli n es
The guidelines will be used by:
• Property Owners
• Architects and Architectural Designers
• Builders
• Landscape Architects
• Landscapers

102. La n d s ca p e M AST ER P LA N
2.1 I n t ro d u ct i o n
The landscape master plan has been designed to reflect the natural environment including the on-site gullies, local Taupiri Maunga and
Hakarimata Range, the Waikato River and surrounding rural character.
The master plan creates tree lined streets, reflecting the different neighbourhood character areas, with particular reference to the gullies
and views to Taupiri Maunga. Exotic tree species have been selected to provide interesting form, colour and texture to the streets. The
native street trees provide visual linkages to the gullies and food source for birds.
The landscape master plan will be further developed as each stage of the development progresses into detail design and construction.
2.2 A r r i va l
Sense of arrival will be created by the use of lush native planting at the developments entrances including SH1, Great South Road, Murphy
Lane and Te Putu St. Appropriately scaled entrance signs will be located at each entrance, with design reference to the Taupiri Maunga
and utilising natural materials.

The spine road runs east-west through the development, providing strong
connectivity to adjacent roading infrastructure. The proposed street tree planting
of large scale english oak and columnar ornamental pear will help visually reinforce
these connections.
R e s i d e n t i a l A r ea Exot i cs - P r i m a ry St r eet
Exotic street tree planting is typically located at the southern end of the
development, where the more traditional rectilinear lots have been designed not
influenced by the gully system.
R e s i d e n t i a l A r ea Exot i cs - S ec o n da ry St r eet
The secondary residential streets located directly off the primary residential
streets are planted with upright maidenhair trees.
R e s i d e n t i a l A r ea N at i v es - P r i m a ry St r eet
A key natural feature of the development. The primary residential street that
follows the gully network provides opportunity for native street tree planting to
reflect the gully and native planting as well as providing visual connection towards
Taupiri Maunga.
R e s i d e n t i a l A r ea N at i v es - S ec o n da ry St r eet
Secondary native street tree planting includes kowhai and nikau.
M e d i u m D en s i ty R es i d en t i a l A r ea
Smaller scale exotic street trees provide seasonal colour and include persian
ironwood and silver whitebeam.
C o u n t ry L i v i n g A r ea
Larger scale lots are characterised by street tree planting of oriental plane and
flowering cheery, reflecting the rural character.
C o m m e rc i a l A r ea
The commercial area is defined by a mix of native and exotics and includes
upright hornbeam, rewarewa and totara.
132.3 N ei g h b o u r h o o d C h a r act er A r eas
Character Areas are identified within the development to guide the appropriate use of landscape. This helps with way finding, as well as lending
the spaces a sense of character and identity.
S p i n e Roa d
Accessed via either Gordonton Road (SH1 to be replaced by Huntly Expressway in 2020) or Great South Road, the spine road runs east-west
through the development, providing strong connectivity to adjacent roading infrastructure, the wider Taupiri community, including; sports fields,
school, café and local dairy and the Waikato River. The proposed street tree planting of large scale english oak and columnar ornamental pear
will help visually reinforce these connections.
R es i d en t i a l A r ea Exo t i c s - P r i m a ry St r eet
Exotic street tree planting is typically located at the southern end of the development, where the more traditional rectilinear lots have been
designed (not influenced by the gully system).
The primary residential areas for exotic tree planting utilises smaller street tree planting with norway maple. A compact rounded form, with
bright green leaves which turn yellow in autumn.
R es i d en t i a l A r ea Exo t i c s - S ec o n d a ry St r eet
The secondary residential streets located directly off the primary residential streets are planted with upright maidenhair trees. The yellow autumn
colour will complement the yellow of the norway maple trees located in the adjacent streets.
R es i d en t i a l A r ea N at i v es - P r i m a ry St r eet
A key natural feature of the development is the gully system that typically runs in a north south direction. The design of the lots adjacent to gullies
creates varying backdrops and access to the proposed gully walkway. The primary residential street that follows the gully network provides
opportunity for native street tree planting to reflect the gully and native planting as well as providing visual connection towards Taupiri Maunga.
Native street tree planting includes kowhai, rimu and rewarewa. Where appropriate clusters of natives will be located along the streetscape.
14R es i d en t i a l A r ea N at i v es - S ec o n d a ry St r eet
Secondary native street tree planting includes kowhai and nikau. This road is planted with Sophora microphylla, the common small leaved Kowhai
tree. This is a favourite tree of the Tui and other native birds when it is in flower. The nikau also provides nectar for birds will provide a visual
contrast to the more common kowhai tree.
M ed i u m D en s i ty R es i d en t i a l A r ea
Smaller scale exotic street trees provide seasonal colour and include persian ironwood and silver whitebeam.
C o u n t ry L i v i n g A r ea

The primary residential hhouse is to be located so that it has a maximum 6m façade setback from the front lot boundary and a minimum 3m setback. The 6m maximum setback
is applied to ensure that houses have a good visual and physical relationship with the streetscape environment. This relationship ensures that a consistent streetscape / house
ffrontage
frontage relationship is m
maintained along roadways. It also encourages passive surveillance over the streetscape and enhances the sense of community within the estate.

To ensure that the road frontages within the estate are not visually dominated by garage doors and
parked vehicles, it is a requirement that connected garages are set back a minimum of 1.5m behind the

Where a side-entry garage layout is used, a 3m setback applies to the garage frontage wall, with the
balance of the house frontage positioned at a 9m maximum setback to allow for on-site manoeuvring.
In this scenario the side wall of the garage facing the street frontage, needs windows and specific
architectural treatment in combination with landscaping to avoid a blank and uninteresting frontage.

Each house shall have a front door that is clearly visible and directly accessible from the street frontage. The front door must be sheltered, and
architectural features shall be incorporated to highlight the front door location.
Fro n t P o rc h es
It is recommended that houses are designed with a front porch to define the entry of the house and be accessible from a primary living area. The
front porch should have a minimum depth of 2.5m and be wide enough to make it is a usable space. The front porch creates a sense of community
and promotes active surveillance over the streetscape.
T r eat m en t o f P u b l i c I n t er fac e
The design, visual quality and character of the public interface between the house and the site’s street frontage is of key importance. It is the
intent of the developer that a high-quality, stylish streetscape character be maintained throughout the estate. In doing so, the investment of
purchasers within the estate will be maintained and enhanced.
To ensure that this outcome is achieved and maintained, it is a requirement of these design guidelines that the street interface be landscaped
in accordance with the design criteria within this document. A Landscape Plan is required to be designed by a suitably qualified person and
submitted for approval by the Design Review Panel.
30The following criteria applies to the treatment of house frontages:
• Houses should be designed to positively address the street — front doors and indoor living areas should have a relationship with the
street. Windows from living areas should be included in the front of each house and should face the street.
• Houses located on corner sites must incorporate similar treatment on all road frontages.
• Appropriate landscape treatments, in accordance with the landscape design guidelines, must be incorporated on all road frontages.
R el at i o n s h i p b e t w een a dj o i n i n g b u i l d i n g s
When designing a new house, there should be a consideration of the relationship with existing neighbouring houses (if applicable). The
relationship between living area, windows, doorways and house frontages should be taken into account. This holistic design approach will ensure
that potential negative design outcomes will be avoided.
Impact on neighbouring properties should be reduced by incorporating design techniques, such as reducing building height near boundaries and
modulating mass and scale.
The Design Review Panel can provide you or your designer with information about neighbouring properties to assist with your design. The Design
Review Panel will also take this design approach into consideration when reviewing plans submitted for approval.
G u l ly Fro n ta g es
The gully network running through the estate is a key natural feature, which is to be protected and enhanced as part of the development of your
lot.
There is a preference for an open frontage facing gully spaces, however where fencing is required a 1.2m maximum height permeable fence is to
be used (Refer Fence Type 4).

A landscape plan is required for the front yard of all lots. A landscape plan will also need to be prepared for the side yard if the lot is a corner lot
or adjoins an open space. The landscape plan shall be submitted to the Design Review Panel for approval and include the following:
• The landscape design must include all proposed hard and soft landscaping elements (driveways, paving, decking, retaining walls,
pools, ancillary structures, planting)
• The front yard landscaping must compliment the streetscape and public landscape areas
• The landscape design must consider enhancement of public safety and privacy between adjoining houses
• Locations and mature size of deciduous and evergreen trees should be carefully considered
• A minimum of 1 x PB150 grade specimen tree must be planted in the front yard to enhance the estate’s street tree framework.
• All lot planting must be in accordance to the estate’s approved plant species list.
Fro n t Ya r d
Front yard landscaping must compliment the neighbourhood design character. Front yards are a key transition area between
the public and private realm. This landscaping softens the visual appearance of built form, provides a sense of scale to the
houses and enhances the overall visual amenity of the development.
S i d e Ya r d
The key aim of side yard landscaping is to provide visual privacy between neighbouring properties. When selecting tree and shrub species it is
important to ensure that they will not become overly large and shade out winter sun from your neighbour. The use of small deciduous trees is
preferred to using evergreen species which can block out light in winter.
ba c k Ya r d
It is encouraged that fruit trees are planted in each back yard.
453.6 A n c i lla ry St ru ct u r es
Ancillary structures (e.g. garden sheds, gazebos, shade sails, pergolas) should be located for the enjoyment and amenity of
the residents without negatively detracting from the visual quality of the estate streetscape. It is important that ancillary
structures are well designed and in keeping with the quality and theme of the house.
S erv i c e a r eas
All service areas are to be located at the side or rear of the house and are to be suitably screened from all public viewpoint with either approved
fencing, durable trellising and/or hedging. Service areas should be screened so as not to be visible from primary living areas of neighbouring
houses.
Ga r d en S h ed s
Garden sheds are to be no more than 1.8m in height and located a minimum of 2m from any lot boundary. All galvanised
steel sheds are to be painted in an approved recessive colour. Timber sheds should be stained to match boundary fencing.
Sheds should be screened so as not to be visible from primary living areas of neighbouring houses.
Sw i m m i n g Po o ls
Swimming pools should be indicated on the site or landscape plan submitted for review by the Design Review Panel. All pools and pool fencing
to comply to relevant National and Regional Authority safety requirements.
D ec ks
Decks and balustrades (where required) are to be of a high-quality architectural design and should be in keeping with the
‘look and feel’ of the house design. Deck placement should consider the design of neighbouring properties and not unduly
overlook primary living areas on neighbouring properties. All decks are to comply with the New Zealand Building Code and
relevant engineering requirements.
46P erg o l as
Pergola structures are to be of a high-quality design and should be in keeping with the overall design of the house. All timber pergolas must be
of a suitably sturdy design and must be stained in an approved colour.
Was h i n g L i n es
All washing lines are to be located away from the street frontage and public viewpoints. Washing lines should not be visible
from neighbouring properties.
