Resource Management Planning

Cuttriss Consultants has a team of dedicated and highly professional planners, who will prepare your resource consent application and manage the process through council on your behalf, to ensure that it is as smooth as possible.

Our planners have experience with a wide variety of developments and can prepare applications for a project of any size. We can assist with pre-application evaluations, preparation of resource consent applications, assessments of effects, consultation, expert planning evidence, council hearings and Environment Court processes.

Cuttriss Consultants have excellent relationships within the councils, and we ensure there is constant communication with councils on the progress of our applications.

We have strong working relationships with a wide variety of consultants. If you need specialist reports for your application, we can arrange for these to be undertaken.

If you are undertaking a major development or your land is zoned inappropriately, our planners can help you apply to change the planning provisions or re-zone an area of land.

We provide expert planning guidance, from evaluation of options through to project management and completing the plan change process.
Plan changes can improve the certainty for a development over time, and can reduce the need to apply for resource consents in the future.

If you are affected by a resource consent application, a plan change, a designation or a plan/policy statement review, you may want to make a submission.

Our planners can assist in identifying the key issues affecting you, preparing a written submission and presenting expert evidence on your behalf. Our planners have a wide range of experience, within local council hearings as well as in the Environment Court.

Cuttriss Consultants planners have experience in preparing a wide variety of policy documents at local, regional and national levels. We can help councils with their policy development requirements and prepare plan changes on their behalf.

We also have expertise in the area of natural hazards, and we have experience in developing policies relating to natural hazards, as well as best-practice guidelines to address the risk and consequences from these events.

Cuttriss Consultants planners have extensive experience working for councils and processing a wide variety of resource consent applications. Our planners are up-to-date with current legislation and best-practice, and we can process any level of application promptly and professionally. We work closely with councils to meet all of their requirements when we are processing resource consent applications on their behalf.
