Our experience includes both sitting alone and chairing hearings as part of a panel of elected members and/or specialist experts. We have extensive experience in managing the hearing process and writing clear, justifiable decisions.
The nature of hearings range from large-scale wind farms and irrigation schemes and major plan changes and District Plan reviews, through to smaller projects with more contained hearings of only a handful of submitters, or where decisions can be undertaken ‘on the papers’ and do not require a hearing.
Our experienced Commissioners are all accredited under the Ministry of the Environment’s Making Good Decisions programme.
