Resource Consents & Environmental Planning

Building Thriving Communities

Planning – still a good thing to do first

Our expert Resource Consents & Environmental Planning team are passionate about seeing communities thrive and prosper – through cohesive and connected communities, vibrant town centres, and valued open spaces.

With working backgrounds and experience in local government, our planners have in-depth knowledge of the rules and regulations, and how they are interpreted by Councils, which puts us in good stead to help people invest in their community.

We care about people, we care about the environment, and we care about the future of local communities.
