Our Services

Planorama provides independent, specialist planning and potential development feasibility advice and assistance on all aspects of planning and resource management – from pre-purchase advice and managing the project team, all the way to preparing and lodging applications and securing resource consents of all types to move your project to reality. We have an excellent track record in successfully obtaining resource consents for a wide range of residential, commercial and rural projects. We can also provide you with guidance and support post-approval to ensure the resource consent conditions are fully complied with.

As a highly-regarded planning consultancy, we adopt a balanced and flexible approach to achieve the best solutions for all our clients. At the outset, we work with you to identify the project objectives and how to minimise risks and costs. We keep you well-informed throughout the entire project. We work harmoniously with Council planners and other professionals to achieve the successful completion of every project.
