Let us guide you through the resource consent process for your residential development project anywhere in New Zealand. At LG Consulting, we work with clients nationwide to ensure full compliance with the Resource Management Act (RMA), streamline development approvals, and maximise success for your property planning and construction needs.
Resource Consent Application Services
Starting a property development project that requires a resource consent can be challenging, especially with changing council requirements.
From navigating strict council regulations to addressing environmental impacts or community concerns, the resource consent process can feel overwhelming—whether you’re building a new home, extending an existing property, or subdividing land. Our team of planners are here to help you manage the resource consent process for a variety of projects including multi-unit residential builds, cross lease to fee, single house residential builds, infill development, renovations and earthworks.
Our residential planning services involve:
- Early-stage planning support for developers, homeowners, builders and investors
- Communication and project management throughout the process with local councils
- Resource Consent Application preparation and submission
- Managing S92 information requests

Subdivision Resource Consent
Guiding you through the subdivision resource consent process and supporting with council approval across New Zealand.
LG Consulting provides expert guidance through New Zealand planning regulations, ensuring smooth residential subdivision approvals, compliance with the Resource Management Act (RMA), and tailored solutions for your property development.
Our subdivision planning services include:
