This is a great initiative to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. We are running out of landfill space and its terrible that a lot of things that end up there still have useful life.

One of the reasons I started Potentialis was to make it easier and less frustrating for people to get consents. Every development or project starts with a dream. Too often if you don’t have the right advice those dreams get watered down. In the article below it’s compromising on the dream shower but on a bigger scale it means the full potential or projects and dreams isn’t realised

Getting a resource consent can be confusing and frustrating. It can feel like you’re stuck in a tumble dryer that you can’t control, getting more stressed as you watch the start date for your project get further away and your costs increase.

It doesn’t have to be like this. You can work with planners that care about adding value to your project, working as efficiently as possible and making the resource consent process easy and painless for you and your clients. We give you your energy back so you can focus on achieving the potential of your development.

Potentialis planning started to make a difference and be different. We have transparent fees and commit to your project, giving you advice to get the best outcome for your project and getting your resource consent.

Talk to us anytime about how we can help you achieve the potential of your development and make the resource consent process easier for you and your clients.

Potentialis prepares resource consent applications, submits on council plans and provides expert planning evidence. We take a practical, reasonable approach to resource consents and consulting, helping you cut through red tape and achieve the potential of your development.
