Matamata Piako Civic Centre banner

Matamata Civic and Memorial Centre – Te Whare Whakamaharatanga o te Hápori o Matamata-Piako is home to the districts memorial centre, council reception and offices, public library and meeting rooms.

While it was a Council project for the community, District Plan rules still apply, and in this case, matters such as noise needed to be resolved to ensure that nearby neighbours would not be affected by music events and the like.

As a team Feathers Planning found working on a heritage project which meant so much to the community, whilst continuing to be a functional community facility was both heartwarming and gratifying.

About the
Professional

Feathers Planning is a niche planning business with a focus on efficiently and successfully navigating the resource consent process. Our key focus is the expert preparation of resource consent applications and the acquisition of the subsequent approvals. This is the starting point in development projects these days - and often a necessary one in the road from going from concept to reality.

As part of this process, we work with your team of select industry professionals, as required for the particular project, to ensure technical reports are tailored towards your needs/projects, and undertake all of the liaison with the Council staff so that you don’t have to. We talk the same language as Council and therefore know the ways and means to alleviate their concerns, resolve issues and mitigate effects. Feathers Planning has a reputation of being adaptable, innovative and pragmatic problem solvers.

Basically, we take your project and manage it through the resource consent process giving our clients the best chance at success both in a timely and cost-effective manner.

At any one time we have a diverse portfolio of projects - residential, commercial, industrial, rural, heritage and community. These range in size and scope from adding a garage to a residential property to master planning exercises in Structure Plan areas.

Whilst being passionate about seeing our local region thrive and grow, we also work throughout New Zealand and as a result have developed solid relationships with varying Councils.

Whatever your project, whatever the size, Feathers Planning’s focus is to efficiently and successfully get your project over the line so you can move to the next phase in development.
