Planning
Mahi mahere
Managing planning processes and Resource Management directives to deliver the best possible strategy, policy or project outcomes for your community and stakeholders.
Our planners assist with change: developing policy to articulate new direction, facilitating important infrastructure or transforming environments to enable project outcomes that enhance the natural world. We work closely with specialists from Boffa Miskell’s mix of in-house disciplines and skills.
We help interpret the increasing number of national directives, working with bespoke planning processes and conventional policy development to deliver quality outcomes for communities. We are investing considerable resources towards understanding the direction of the pending RM reform to help our clients navigate through this period of change.
Consenting projects and infrastructure is challenging with an increasing range of statutory processes and complexity. Our planners develop effective strategies that minimise risk for our clients, drawing on our skills in facilitation, evaluation and innovative approaches to secure necessary approvals. We stand behind our work and provide a range of experts to guide projects through court and judicial processes.
Our experience covers a wide range of planning skills, including environmental assessment, resource consent applications, legislative reform advice, plan and policy development along with appearances at council hearings and the Environment Court.
