Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park banner

At Feathers Planning we love working on community based projects like this.

Waiwhakareke is Hamilton City Councils flagship bio-diversity project in an urban environment – a 65.4ha ecological restoration program that is a great asset to the city. Consent was needed for Hamilton City Council to construct the park entry, carpark, covered walkway (linking to Hamilton Zoo) and lookout tower. Council approval was also required for the upgrades to the Zoo entry.

This cross-boundary project involved both Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils, with the Territorial Local Authority Boundary running down the middle of Brymer Road. We worked with an amazing team of talented architects, landscape architects, engineers and of course Hamilton City Council as our client.

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.
