Offer to Community & Resident Groups

Local groups can create real benefits for their local area. I want to help groups maximise their opportunities to be involved in local planning.

The free training session can be tailored, to include:

Identification of what development requires consent and why
Identification & explanation of key rules (e.g. height & setback)
Identification of matters the Council can consider in its assessment
What buildings built in accordance with rules could look like
What are 'legitimate planning considerations'
What planning considerations are given the greatest 'weight'
What makes a good quality submission
What is 'consent activity status'?
Can submissions make a difference?

For groups with 10+ members in the Wellington region,

I offer

1 Free Training/Advice Session*

The session is intended to improve understanding of key planning terms used in resource consents and/or plan changes. As well as improving the quality of public submissions.

* Conditions apply.

Furthermore, if your group needs to obtain resource consent for a project with anticipated positive outcomes for local people & places (such as the preservation of natural or cultural heritage), send me a message or give me a call to discuss the possibility of pro bono work.
