We're a senior team of planners, scientists and kaupapa taiao specialists. For three decades we've worked across the spectrum of consent applications, hearings, Environment Court cases and now Fast-track proceedings.
If your project involves: public notification, contested hearings, ecological sensitivity, significant iwi interests or the FTAA — we can help you.
Our team is skilled at: complex consent applications, contested hearings, and significant resource management projects that will re-shape a place:
We'll prepare robust applications from the simple through to the complex, but excel at the complex and contested ones.
Planning, ecology, effects management expert evidence, and statements of advice to Fast-track panels — with more than 50+ Environment Court appearances and counting.
Technical review, effects assessment, effects management, and biodiversity offsetting — led by nationally-recognised experts in their fields.
Our team includes Independent Hearing Commissioners (chair endorsed), available for Fast-track panels, extended consent hearings, and mediation.
You work directly with senior specialists — all of whom are experienced inside council spaces, hearings and the courts. That depth means sharper advice, less rework, and more robust evidence.
"Each time, I have found the team approachable, engaged, and eager to find solutions that work for us. I highly value the evidence-based approach they embrace — when blended with a creative outlook, nothing seems impossible."
Tell us what you're working on, and we'll give you a straight-up view of what's involved and how we can help.
