Terramark staff are trained, skilled, and experienced in the many aspects associated with resource management planning. Providing sound advice is key to delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Preparation of Structure and Concept Plans

Presentation of Evidence to Council Hearings
Some resource applications may have significant aspects of non-compliance under Council's District Plan rules, and thus require presentations to be made to a Council Hearings Committee.

Circumstances may arise where it is necessary to object to an unreasonable or inappropriate resource consent condition or to apply for a consent variation or extension of time.
