Housing applications under Fast-track must show meaningful contribution to housing supply, infrastructure efficiency or urban form. The bar on dwelling numbers, infrastructure servicing and inclusionary design is high.
Council infrastructure agreements, three-waters servicing, transport assessment and stormwater management dominate the substantive package.
Why this matters in Canterbury
Hub city Christchurch sits inside Canterbury, and housing & urban projects in this region face a particular combination of council, iwi and infrastructure constraints. We sequence the regional council engagement, hapū consultation and EPA-side workstreams against the substantive lodgement window — without burning partner-rate hours on coordination.
How we engage
Flat fee, retainer-plus-success, or a capped day rate — see pricing for full models. Specialists billed at cost, never marked up. Weekly programme reporting and a live risk register against the binding constraint.
