WSP provided strategic planning and environmental services to guide the Hawthorndale Care Village through a complex consenting landscape. Our team worked closely with the Trust, local authorities, and stakeholders to:
• Develop a robust consenting strategy aligned with the Invercargill City District Plan and the Resource Management Act.
• Prepare and lodge the resource consent application, including assessments of environmental effects, infrastructure capacity, and urban design.
• Facilitate engagement with the community and iwi, ensuring the project reflected local values and aspirations.
• Navigate statutory processes efficiently, helping the client respond to council queries and public submissions.
Our integrated approach drew on expertise across planning, infrastructure, and environmental disciplines, ensuring the consent application was both technically sound and socially responsive.
