Kia ora, I’m Louise Feathers.
In my 20+ years of planning in NZ, I have obtained 1000’s of resource consents and I am here to share my knowledge with you.
I have devised an easy 90 minute online program to teach you the basics, and practical ins and outs of the resource consent process.
This is ideal if;
you have been told you need a resource consent, but have NO IDEA where to start;
you are in the NZ development industry and you need a CRASH COURSE;
you are a student and need a HANDS ON explanation.
You can take the 10 module pre-recorded course as fast or slow as you like - the pace is up to YOU.
Covering key elements of information, starting with ‘what is a resource consent and why do I need one’ , planning tips, instructions on how to pull a team of consultants together, diciphering jargon, and an application template in case you want to apply for your own basic resource consent.
This will provide you with a practical and primary understanding of the resource consent process.
