Strategic environmental advice
Perhaps you have an existing consent that requires specialised monitoring – or maybe you want to consider your options outside of the regulatory machine?
Our consultants operate at a strategic level and can help you find clever solutions to issues or offer wider perspectives on key points of friction and potential opportunities during the project design, regulatory or implementation stage.
Environmental policy and planning
We know our country’s environmental and planning legislation inside out, from the RMA to national environmental standards and national policy statements.
Our specialist knowledge extends to freshwater management, industrial discharges and coastal/transport infrastructure. We have significant experience working with both government agencies and the private sector.
