TYPICAL SCENARIOS

Resource Consent Teams within City or District Councils sometimes require support to process resource consent applications and other approvals under the RMA. I can provide this support where needed. My role is to work with in-house resource consent teams and their experts and assist the processing of resource consent applications with complete, decision-ready material.

I. Land use and subdivision consents

II. Certificate of compliance

III. Existing use certificates

IV. Notices of requirement

V. Outline plans

Testimonial

“I found Claire to be respectful in her engagement with Māori in her preparation for a resource consent application in the Dannevirke area. Claire had a conscientious manner and that gave space for Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua to explain their values and principles relating to the site and surrounding area, and how these interacted with the proposed development. Claire learnt about mātaraunga Māori, and the role of this knowledge particularly in stream work. We developed a great working relationship, and I would work with Claire again.”

— James Kendrick, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua
