Resource consents

Our team of planners is highly experienced in all aspects of resource consents. We undertake a full range of consent work, including land use, subdivision, discharge and coastal consents. Consent projects may range from a simple two-lot subdivision or boundary adjustment to major residential or commercial developments.

Our resource consents services include:

  • Providing advice on the requirements for obtaining a resource consent
  • Compiling resource consent applications, including working with other consultants
  • Liaising with council officers
  • Managing the resource consent application process through the council
  • If necessary, preparing and presenting evidence at council and Environment Court hearings.

Cato Bolam also carries out resource consent processing work for councils. Many of our planners have a background working for councils, and have considerable experience in assessing and reporting applications for resource consent.
