Cato Bolam’s expertise and detailed local knowledge is playing a key role in helping New Zealand Retail Property Group, Ritchies Transport and Auckland Council establish a major growth centre on Auckland’s outskirts. Our clients have used our design, planning, resource consent, surveying and engineering services to maximise the potential of the 85-hectare Massey North site, which includes the town centre, employment and apartment residential areas, bus depot, roads, stormwater ponds and open space. Our cost-effective and environmental initiatives include the sustainable use of onsite earthworks materials.

Tupare Peninsula is a complex coastal development on ecologically and archaeologically sensitive land adjoining the shores of the Kaipara Harbour, South Head. Cato Bolam consulted with local iwi, council and the Historic Places Trust to gain all land use, environmental, coastal and other consents. We carried out ecological assessments, provided engineering design, requested and let construction tenders and provided project management for our client, Tupare Farms. The 35-site development includes environmental initiatives designed to protect natural wetland and bush and low-impact stormwater treatment.

Cato Bolam and Hopper Developments have worked together from the outset of the Pauanui Waterways, Whitianga Waterways (Coromandel Peninsula) and Marsden Cove (Whangarei Harbour) projects to create some of New Zealand’s most impressive residential sites. Our planners and surveyors overcame unique challenges including complex canal development land transfer surveys and mooring and canal easements. We worked closely with local and regional councils to address strategic and master planning issues and obtain subdivision and land use resource consents for the projects.
