Planning

At Harrison Grierson, our planners aim to create resilient communities by delivering quality urban forms and enhancing our environment in a way that we can all be proud of.

Our team of experienced planners bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each project, offering strategic solutions that balance the needs of our clients with the broader community and the environment.

Our planning services include strategic and policy planning, resource consenting and designations as well as feasibility and advisory services. Our team works closely with you to understand your vision and develop an approach that is based on your unique needs and goals. We take pride in adopting a client-focused approach to all things we do and value the relationships we have developed with our clients over a long period of time.

We understand that planning is becoming ever more complex. Our team will lead you through the entire process and ensure that you understand what’s likely to be involved using clear, regular and relatable communication. We use our expertise and knowledge to create efficient and effective solutions for every project, regardless of the scale or complexity.

"Planning is the foundation for creating resilient communities by delivering quality urban form and enhancing our environment."
