Resource Consent With so much of what we want to do on our properties controlled by Council red tape these days, it is inevitable that when you want to do something to your property, you will need to make a resource consent application to Council.  We can help you with that sometimes daunting process.  If you need a land use consent to an activity that is not provided for in the Council's District Plan, do earthworks, do subdivisions big or small, we can help.  You may be asked to consent to someone else's application, and don't know where to ask for help in deciding whether you should be consenting.  You may not like what someone else plans to do, and want some help in placing and submittting an objection.  We can assist you with all of this.  Subdivision of land, whether it be a small two house cross lease all the way to a big "greenfields" development, is something we can help with.  We can get alongside your surveyor and planner, or help you find the right consultants, contractors etc to do the job.  We can prepare your consent application and make all the submissions that go with it.  We can present your application in person to Council at both public and private meetings.  Our expertise can sometimes make all the difference in making a successful application.  We can negotiate your consent conditions if you are not happy with them.
