I can assist you to navigate the resource consent process, either as an applicant seeking resource consent for a activity or a submitter opposing a resource consent. I can write your submission and represent you at the Council or Court hearings that follow. Noteworthy cases I have worked on include

• applications for resource consent to mine the Denniston Plateau (the Escarpment and Te Kuha mines), which were decided by the Environment Court and appealed to the High Court;

• the application for the Auckland Regional Landfill in the Dome Valley;

• applications to take water from the Upper Waitaki, which were controversial due to potential impacts on indigenous biodiversity and water quality.

I was involved in the legal team that successfully appealed the High Court decision on the East West Link to the Supreme Court.
