Resource Consent Management
Confident, council-ready submissions—coordinated specialists, clear evidence, and fewer surprises.
Built for Auckland developers, builders, and landowners.
Worried about resource-consent roadblocks?
Unsure which reports Council will expect—and in what order?
Not clear on who you need (planner, civil/hydraulic, geotech, arborist) or when to engage them?
Concerned that RFIs, redesigns, or conditions will blow out time and budget?
Resource consent in Auckland has many moving parts. 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. Pre-app meetings, s92 requests, and conditions management add more steps and stakeholders.
Every site behaves differently. Timelines and costs shift with zone/overlays, servicing capacity, gradients/vehicle tracking, ground conditions, and potential effects on neighbours. Across the journey—concept → submission → processing → decision & conditions—each stage carries its own risks.
That’s where My Subdivision comes in. We turn requirements into a coordinated plan: sequence the right specialists, prepare a council-ready AEE and plan set, anticipate likely conditions, and manage s92 responses without drama. You get clear steps, realistic costs and timeframes, and a smoother path from lodgement to approval—and into compliance actions that keep your programme on track.
What We Manage
Scope & Issues
Auckland consents juggle planning rules, specialist inputs, and council expectations often at the same time. We turn that into a clear, coordinated pathway.
- Planning: zone, overlays, MDRS context, HIRB, setbacks, coverage, impervious area.
- Urban design & amenity: privacy/outlook, outdoor living, daylight, streetscape.
- Access & transport: vehicle crossings, gradients, tracking, parking and maneuvering.
- Three-waters: stormwater strategy (incl. detention/retention, overland flow), wastewater capacity, water supply.
- Geotech & earthworks: slope stability, cuts/fills, erosion & sediment control.
- Trees, ecology & heritage: protected vegetation/SEAs, notable trees, heritage overlays.
- Contaminated land (HAIL): PSI/detailed site investigation where relevant.
- Conditions strategy: anticipate likely consent conditions and close-out steps.
How It Works
(Process & Timing)
Kickoff & scope
You share goals, concept/feasibility, and any surveys/LIM. We confirm issues, inputs, and a submission plan.
Pre-application
Targeted pre-app to de-risk key matters (three-waters, access, urban design).
Evidence & drafting
Coordinate specialists; compile diagrams; prepare the AEE and plan set.
Quality review
Cross-check against rules, overlays, and council guidance.
Lodgement
Submit to Council; manage communications and document control.
Processing & s92
Handle RFIs, workshops, and reasonable design refinements.
We keep you updated with a simple cadence: weekly status, action list, and risks-on-radar…
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you talk to Council on our behalf?
Yes—pre-app (if useful), processing planner liaison, and workshops to keep things moving.
Can you work with our existing surveyor/architect?
Absolutely. We coordinate with your team or recommend trusted Auckland specialists.
What if the consent risks notification?
We’ll flag risks early, outline mitigation options, and help with affected-party strategies where appropriate.
How do you handle s92 (RFIs)?
We manage the responses, coordinate any extra evidence, and facilitate design tweaks that resolve the planner’s concerns.
What happens after approval?
We map conditions to an actionable compliance plan—engineering approvals, certifications, and steps toward s223/224C and CCC.
