Many Planners provide consulting services to both, the public and the private sector, ranging from Government departments, Local Authorities, Public and Private Corporations, Small Businesses, and Individual Citizens
The Resource Management Act 1991 requires that certain
information is provided with resource consent applications or
submissions to proposed plan changes. Each local authority in
its District or Regional Plan will have policies and rules
which need to be considered in your application or
submissions.
An application often requires appropriate consultation and an assessment of effects. It is much more likely to be successful and will take less time going through Council procedures if it is well prepared.
