No nudity, no laundry on show at Gated Island Community in Manukau Harbour
Stuff - Lifestyle: 11-Oct-2022
A luxury island development in Auckland’s Manukau Harbour is finally under way, 10 years after the developers won the right to do it in the Environment Court.
The 103-lot Pararēkau Island development is connected to the suburb of Karaka on the mainland by two causeways which will eventually be double laned.
Salesperson Andrew Frost said it would be "pretty exclusive" with an automatic gate on the causeway that would recognise number plates of members of the residents’ society.
There are a few rules for buyers who wish to live there. Some are standard, such as not building detached structures, but others include “no public displays of nudity” and laundry lines must not be visible from the road. Weeds higher than 15cm will not be allowed.
- one man's weed is another man's exotic plant
- and one should never display their washed and drying undergarments to the neighbours
- who will enforce such covenants/rules once the developer is gone?
- a Sunday driver/walker destination
- and what about sea-level rise?!
