Some activities are located in zones where they do not comply with the ordinary zone standards. An example is a service station in the Residential Zone. Confinement to commercial areas would not allow the necessary distribution of such services across all areas of the city. These activities are provided for by scheduling and regulating them especially on their identified site. The intention of this is to ensure the continuation of a service to the community and protect the investment committed to buildings and site development. Opportunity to expand on site may be provided for such activities, which is a more liberal regime than existing use rights provided for under section 10 of the Resource Management Act.

Schedules are also used in the Open Space and Recreation Zone to indicate permitted activities in different classes of land within that zone.

The rules that apply to the activity and site are stated in the relevant schedule. The schedules are located after the rule table in the relevant zone. The relationship between the schedule and the rule table is set out within each schedule.
