Strategic planning

District plan review: District plans are important as they set the policies and rules that govern what activities can happen where. We provide detailed and robust information from which policies, objectives, and rules are reviewed and changed to ensure they remain consistent and relevant. 

Policy review: Policy development underpins how people interact with each other. That requires a strong evidential base to understand the implications of a range of policy options. 

Urban development assessments: major residential and business growth developments require comprehensive and holistic planning, including for the amount and location of retail, commercial, industrial and residential land supply.

Network planning: Large entities that operate multiple business locations continually seek to ensure those locations meet corporate objectives. We provide network performance reviews and advise on opportunities to change networks - schools, national retailers, restaurants, service providers and other organisations.

Plan change assessments: Large scale developments may require requesting a change to a district plan. These plan changes require an analysis to establish which land use is most appropriate.
