Code Planning is a boutique Resource Management Consultancy based on Auckland’s North Shore.
Code is Directed by Haden Mills who is a full member of the New Zealand Planning Institute and holds a Bachelor of Planning(Hons) from the University of Auckland. Haden has over 10 years experience in planning in Auckland ranging from private consulting to being a senior planner, policy planner and a team leader at Auckland Council.
We specialise in all aspects of urban and environmental planning including:
- Resource consent applications
- Notices of requirement and outline plans
- Plan changes and submissions
- Evidence for Council and Environment Court hearings
- Iwi and community consultation
- Plan and strategic policy advice and development
“As a team leader for the Council I saw many applications come through that went off the rails for various reasons or didn’t fully utilise the true design potential of the site. This was often caused by a lack of understanding of the processes and planning provisions, I noticed this only got worse with the roll out of Aucklands Unitary Plan, which has further complicated (at least for now) the planning framework. I felt that the process could be managed far more effectively in terms of cost and time for private sector clients. I decided to use my planning knowledge and my understanding of the Councils structures and processes in the private sector in an effort to help navigate the process in a simple and cost effective manner and ensuring that good design isn’t outweighed by a rulebook”
Code holds a number of core values:
- We will be upfront and honest with our clients in terms of our opinions and the likelihood of a project being successful. We won’t always tell you what you want to hear rather what you need to hear.
- We work with high calibre professionals and experts that we can use to help form a project team.
- No matter what the scale of the project we prioritise it as if it were our own.
- We will listen to what you need and simplify the process
