Infrastructure projects run multiple parallel consents under one Fast-track package — designation, RMA effects, Conservation Act, Heritage NZ, Crown Minerals (for materials), Reserves Act. The coordination burden is the largest of any sector.
Critical-path management of land access, designation and substantive consent is the difference between a 9-month and a 24-month timeline.
Why this matters in Waikato
Hub city Hamilton sits inside Waikato, and infrastructure projects in this region face a particular combination of council, iwi and infrastructure constraints. We sequence the regional council engagement, hapū consultation and EPA-side workstreams against the substantive lodgement window — without burning partner-rate hours on coordination.
How we engage
Flat fee, retainer-plus-success, or a capped day rate — see pricing for full models. Specialists billed at cost, never marked up. Weekly programme reporting and a live risk register against the binding constraint.
