MY SERVICES
Consenting Projects
End-to-end planning advice and work for development projects requiring environmental approvals under the Resource Management Act.
My role is to understand your project, identify resource consent requirements, and plan a way forward to ensure a good application is lodged with Council.
People who use this service include:
Landowners
Architects, engineers, surveyors who seek planning advice for their clients
Project Leads putting together teams for larger infrastructure or development projects
TYPICAL SCENARIOS
Individual development proposals offer their own unique set of circumstances, so I like to put in the time upfront to work through how we get from the spark of an idea through to consents lodged.
-
I help homeowners and landowners navigate resource consent applications when your development plans don't quite fit district or regional plan rules. I'll guide you from initial advice right through to receiving council's decision.
-
I work alongside you, your surveyor, and other experts to design subdivisions that work and meet all requirements. I'll handle all the resource consents you need—from earthworks to stormwater and wastewater approvals.
-
I provide architects and developers with early planning advice. Together we'll develop a clear consenting strategy and I'll prepare the resource consent applications for central city and urban projects.
-
I help land development companies understand the planning opportunities and constraints for a site and what approvals different development scenarios will need. From there, I develop a consenting strategy and prepare all necessary applications.
-
I join your infrastructure project team to advise on environmental approvals and ensure environmental considerations shape your project from the start. I'll develop and implement a consenting strategy and prepare all RMA approvals you need.
