Acacia Park Rules - Just Voluntary

Acacia Park is a less restrictive type of community in that we do not have special rules that can be enforced upon owners by our association. Residence only need to obey the laws of New Zealand, just like you would living anywhere in New Zealand.

So in Acacia Park you have no worries about another governing body.

Be sure to read over your title for covenants; these would be the only specific Acacia Park rules that need to be followed. They mostly deal with building and sub-dividing.

The Acacia Park Association has formulated guidelines that we would like all residence to follow; but they are voluntary.
