Rural contractors’ yards

Planz provides ongoing advice and consenting services for clients establishing contractors’ yards in rural areas across Christchurch and the Selwyn Districts.

These projects typically involve the development of machinery repair, storage, and workshop facilities for rural industry-related contractors and landscaping firms that require a rural location rather than an urban industrial setting.

Consenting for these projects often involves collaboration with acoustic, traffic, and landscape experts to carefully assess and mitigate potential impacts on rural character and neighbouring properties, particularly when sites are near lifestyle blocks. Planz’s extensive experience ensures a smooth resource consent process, delivering practical mitigation measures that achieve favourable outcomes for both clients and surrounding communities.
