Our Clients

Who We Work With

We work with organisations, businesses and landowners who need clear environmental advice and practical planning support. From additional policy capacity to help with a specific project, we tailor our support to your needs.

Industry organisations and sector bodies

We provide policy and planning support to help organisations understand regulatory change, develop submissions and communicate what it means for their members. With extensive agricultural sector experience and a strong understanding of resource management reform, we can provide ongoing advice or extra policy capacity during busy periods.


Landowners and businesses

We help you understand the environmental requirements affecting your property, operation or proposed activity, and work through consenting and compliance matters. We bring particular expertise in intensive farming, with support for other activities where our knowledge and experience fit your needs.

Councils and community organisations

We support organisations caring for parks, reserves and community spaces with advice on environmental requirements and resource consents. Where projects also involve planting, landscaping or maintenance, we can work alongside NatureBase Open Spaces to connect planning advice with practical delivery.
