Planning Advice & Strategy

Have you considered all the details?

If you're planning a development, subdivision or building that may need a consent, talk to us to make sure every angle is considered before preparing and submitting your application.

Local knowledge, nationwide

Our planners are experienced in land development across Aotearoa New Zealand and with experts based around the country, we’re able to use our local knowledge and relationships to ensure that all rules, policies and intricacies of each council are addressed within your application.

This has meant that over 95% of our projects have had their consents approved and building completed without the need for a notified hearing—saving our clients time, money and stress.

Engage us early for the best result

An early chat with us enables you to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary delays later on in the process. We’ll ensure all the details have been considered and use our expertise to review your plans before costly issues are overlooked.

We can provide advice over the phone, via email, in a formal report or face to face.

I had a great experience working with Gemma-Rose from Establish Planning on our future property development. She was very professional and explained everything clearly and simply. She always responded to my questions quickly. Her advice was invaluable—I would definitely work with her again.
