The Strategy focuses on ensuring the Council meets its obligations under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity.
The project involved close liaison with expert economists and the Council’s planning and asset teams to ensure future growth is sustainable and efficiently serviced. Planz was involved in drafting the Strategy, presenting proposals to elected members, and preparing reports for hearings based on stakeholder feedback.
Planz conducted a comprehensive review of spatial planning tools that were in use across Regional and District Plans throughout New Zealand. This project, commissioned by the Ministry for the Environment (MfE), aimed to identify best practices and common challenges in the existing planning frameworks.
Planz Consultants are proud to have played a key role in securing the necessary planning approvals for the exciting new bridges across Jenkins Creek.
