"The service, professionalism and job quality delivered by McKenzie & Co. at our Ormiston Road development was just outstanding."
Ben Chandra - Project ManagerPlatform Homes
"McKenzie & Co. were very responsive, in fact I wish that some of our other construction partners were half as responsive! There were never any drama’s and they were always communicative, professional and accurate."
Greg Turton - Project ManagerCook Brothers Construction
“Kāinga Ora Homes & Communities project in Drury is my first experience working with McKenzie & Co. From the first meeting with Mark Melville & Clayton McKenzie, the team at McKenzie & Co. have got on and delivered their work with urgency. Mark, as my principle contact and consultant, has ensured that other organisations have been held to deadlines. This, coupled with quality documentation and advice, ensured the tendering process went without a hitch. As the civil earthworks progress, my encounters with the wider McKenzie & Co. team continue to show more capable professionals who are a pleasure to work with.”

FAQ's

You may require resource consent from the Auckland Council if your project will have an impact on the environment or if it could affect other people. A resource consent is a formal written approval from the Council for you to go ahead with your project, as long as the project meets all Council regulations.

When the Council processes your application, they review (amongst other things) how your application relates to the Auckland Unitary Plan provisions, whether your proposal is appropriate for its location (there are different rules for different zones), the environmental effects of your proposal, and any proposed measures to reduce those effects and whether there are affected parties (such as neighbours, adjoining landowners).

The Council also considers if there are adverse environmental effects or any affected persons who have not provided written approval, if your planned activity is in a hazardous area (e.g. coastal erosion, land instability), and whether any specialist input is required for any aspect of your consent (earthworks, ecology, land stability and suitability, water or air quality, flooding issues, heritage, etc.). The Council will also assess whether any specific conditions need to be attached to your consent, and if so, what they should be.

You must apply for resource consent in the following situations:

  • When planning a new residential or commercial build, land development or subdividing land.
  • For earthworks, damming or redistributing water, discharging contaminants into water, soil or air and using, or occupying, coastal spaces.

For a complete and standard application, the Council will confirm acceptance of your application in writing within 10 working days and give you a reference number.

For more complex applications, a planner may need to commission a report on an aspect of your application. A planner will assess your application within 20 working days and will keep you updated on its progress.

For notified applications (where the public needs to be consulted) the process may take a lot longer.
