My Subdivision exists to make development decisions clearer, faster, and less stressful. We’re a knowledge-first team that helps developers, builders, and landowners move from “What can I do with this site?” to a confident plan for feasibility, consenting, and delivery aligned to the Auckland Unitary Plan.

Feasibility Study

You’re juggling Resource Consent, engineering inputs (three-waters, accessways), and council conditions—often at the same time. A smart feasibility looks at zoning and overlays, services and overland flow, access gradients and vehicle tracking, plus the paperwork you’ll need for consenting.

Resource Consent Management

Your submission must align with the Unitary Plan and overlays (HIRB, setbacks, coverage, heritage/SEAs), include a plain-English AEE, and be backed by the right evidence—three-waters strategy, access/transport diagrams, geotechnical inputs, arborist/ecology where applicable.

Three-Waters & Civil Coordination

A compliant design must align with catchment rules and flood hazards, manage primary/secondary flows, prove wastewater capacity, and confirm water-supply pressure and fire-fighting requirements—often alongside accessway and civil works.

Project Management

You’re juggling earthworks, services (three-waters, power, comms), accessways, vertical build, inspections, and consent conditions—often at the same time. Without disciplined coordination, you get idle crews, rework, and programme slippage.

Developer Advisory & ROI Modelling

We combine planning constraints, civil/three-waters requirements, programme and market assumptions into a transparent pro-forma—so you can see exactly how design choices and consent pathways affect returns.

Overland Flow, Compliant Design: Townhouses Approved Without Delay

Location: Central Auckland infill
Site type: OLFP crossing site; modest slope; existing dwelling to be retained.
Scope: Subdivision with X townhouses and upgraded access/servicing.

The challenge

An overland flow path (OLFP) traversed the site, creating flood risk and limiting building platforms. Early concept plans pushed units into the secondary flow path, and access levels conflicted with stormwater routes. The risk: notification, redesigns, and delays.

Our approach

Scope

Three-waters first: We ran a desktop hydrology check to map primary/secondary flows and impervious area impacts.
Stormwater strategy: Selected a raingarden + detention combo to manage peak flows and water quality while preserving the OLFP route.
Civil/access coordination: Regraded the driveway and adjusted crossing geometry; added local threshold drainage to protect entries.
Planning integration: Worked with the planner to align HIRB/setbacks and privacy treatments with the revised levels.
Evidence pack: Clear plan set, HIRB/sections, stormwater report with device sizing and OLFP diagrams; drafted AEE with effects management narrative.
Pre-app touchpoint (targeted): Focused questions on OLFP management and device acceptability to de-risk RFIs.
