The specialist planning expertise within Eliot Sinclair covers the entire planning spectrum - from private plan changes and large land development projects, to providing resource management planning advice for site specific issues in residential, commercial, industrial and rural areas. We also provide advice on specific planning matters including social and community housing, multi-unit developments, retirement villages, health centres and childcare centres.
Our experienced planners are extremely versatile and work closely within our wider multidisciplinary team to advise on large-scale land development projects including earthworks, engineering and environmental matters.
