Soundsplash is a boutique multi-genre festival that has been happening in Raglan for 20 years. Held at the picturesque Wainui Reserve, this 3 day festival has been bringing the manaakitanga and good vibes to the thousands of its attendees. With its ongoing commitment to support distinguished kiwi acts as well as showcase kiwi rising talent too, combined with its Zero Waste Policy – it has become of NZ’s most popular summer festivals.

Events like this don’t just happen without a lot of careful consideration and logistical work, and for Feathers Planning we needed to make sure that all consents were gained in time before the event.

The popularity of the events we have gained resource consents for have proved so successful that the event organizer needed to increase ticketholder numbers. In response we obtained a variation to extend the number of ticketholders, and for an upgraded transport service to mitigate the subsequent boost to vehicle movements, and any associated increases in noise – thereby ensuring that these increases were insignificant to the environment and it’s surrounds.

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.
