We provide a full land development consultancy service for both our public and private sector clients in all development sectors
Terra Central North Island have an incredibly diverse range of project type and scale, with infill residential development being one of our specialities. The geographical reach of our Waikato office includes the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions.
The Waikato team is led by expert planner and director - Central North Island, Richard Falconer. Terra's consultants are professionally trained to interpret resource management plans and procedures and to work with stakeholders to achieve outcomes that are satisfactory for all. Advice on these matters can ensure a sense of clarity and simplicity is brought to the complex planning process.
In any development, the first step is often to obtain the necessary Resource Consents from Council. Early consultation with our specialist planners will ensure potential issues are identified and resolved at an early stage, and a strategy is set for the consenting process, which will save you time and money. Essentially, our specialist planners will work with you to get the best out of your land, with minimal delay in obtaining the necessary consents from Council.
Since our Waikato office founding in back in 2017, our service offering has expanded into a full-service multi-disciplinary offering. This is critical to the time frame and cost-effective assessment of resource consents. These services include planning, surveying, architecture, urban design, structural and civil engineering.
