Resource management planning has become increasingly complex, with a proliferation of documents and rules.

I can help you at all stages of the planning process from drafting your original submission to representing you at Council hearings, the Environment Court and beyond.

Experience includes:

  • Northland Coastal Plan including marine protection provisions (Environment Court);

  • Otago Regional Policy Statement (High Court and Court of Appeal)

  • Outstanding Water Bodies in Hawkes Bay (Environment Court);

  • Indigenous biodiversity in District Plans in Christchurch and Dunedin;

  • Water quality hearings in the Environment Court in Waikato and Manawatu (Environment Court).
