Defining Mt Cook

Problems arise when this map is compared to maps used as a point of reference for District Plan changes such as 38 and 39, see below. The above map indicates that a larger inner city area is included in Mt Cook and therefore could, or should, have its heritage character preserved. We have yet to clarify if the parts of Mt Cook excluded from the map below are instead included in the Cuba or Courteney Place "Character Areas" as suggested in the map for Aro Valley, Te Aro, Mt Cook, Mt Victoria in District Plan- Volume 3.
