The scheme has basically provided for retail, showrooms, offices, medical, residential, restaurant, hotel, commercial workshops and service industrial on the eastern side of the N2 under Core Mixed Use Commercial 4 (MUCO 4) and Mixed Use – Offices 3 (MOFF 3).  Similar permitted usage has been catered for in the Salt Rock and Umhlali business nodes under the description of Multi-Purpose Retail and Office 1 (MPRO1).  The Junction and Tiffany’s Shopping Centres fall under Core Mixed Use 1 and 2 (MUCO 1 and MUCO 2) respectively and the Lifestyle Centre is noted as a Special Zone. The permitted usage on the western side of the N2 includes Light Industry (INLI) and Mixed Use Low Impact 2 (MULI 2).
