Significant weather events in recent times highlight the need to plan at local, regional and national levels. However it also highlights the effects on intensification on the country’s infrastructure, and demonstrates the dependence we have on that infrastructure. Whether it be roading, stormwater, or communications.
On a local level, Council planning documents control how we use our properties. Resource consent applications for land-use and subdivision activities are key Planning Services that we provide. In addition, we provide planning advocacy and consultation services for district plan reviews, growth strategies, and private and public plan changes.
Understanding these Planning and Development rules and regulations is essential when it comes to land development and land use of your site. When can our planning team assist you?
