RESOURCE CONSENT APPLICATIONS: Land Use and Subdivision Consents

​

For those unfamiliar with planning and resource management documents, it can be difficult to interpret District and Regional Plans and understand the resource consent process.

​

​My aim is to simplify this process for the applicant.  With my specialist knowledge of the Waipa and Waikato District Plans, I will walk you through the resource consent process.

​

I will prepare a comprehensive Resource Consent application and take the application through the resource consent process.

​

POLICY PLANNING: Plan Changes

​

I have worked on numerous Plan Changes, both as the principle author or as a submitter. 

 

I have contributed to several policy and plan drafting development processes, including:

  • Hauraki District Plan Review;

  • Thames Coromandel District Plan Noise Plan Change;

  • South Waikato Heritage and Ecological Inventory Plan Change; and

  • South Waikato Code of Practice Plan Change.

RESOURCE CONSENT APPLICATIONS: Regional Consents

 

The Regional Consent process can be difficult if you are not used to the resource consent process.  As an experienced planner I will guide you through this process.

RESOURCE CONSENT PROCESSING

​

Increasing development can at times put Councils under pressure to meet the Resource Management Act timeframes for processing resource consent applications.

I will assist Councils in processing resource consent applications in a timely and cost effective manner.

SUBMISSIONS AND PLANNING HEARINGS

​

Submissions play a very important role in the resource management and planning process.

​

This can be a daunting task for those unfamiliar with planning legislation and processes.

 

I will explain the process and potential effects on your property and represent you during the planning process if required.
