Planning & Consents
Major infrastructure projects by their size and nature generally require some form of consent or authorization, through planning and heritage approvals or parliamentary processes. We can advise on the scope of powers, consents and approvals that a project needs to proceed and assess the likely cost, resource and programme implications.
We offer a proven track record of successfully managing the preparation and promotion of Transport & Works Act applications and Parliamentary Bills as well as particular expertise in heritage issues relating to major construction projects.
We help clients manage all project activities that support the authorisation process, including:
- co-ordination of the preparation and production of all information required
- co-ordination of all engineering matters to support the planning and authorisation processes
- management of consultants, advisors and other specialists and expert witnesses
- managing and undertaking consultation
- managing preparation of all information for public inquiries or parliamentary committees
- management of any land and property issues
- liaison and negotiation of agreements with affected parties
