Resource Consents & Planning

PROJECT AREAS

Winery Development & Consent Support

Lets face it, Marlborough is famous for its fine wine. What some don't realise is the environmental compliance requirements that need to be met to enable sustainable production and business growth.

Since 2006 Alan has worked with more than 35 individual wineries to get the resource consents they need to operate and thrive.

We provide consent support from the conceptual phase through to completion and beyond. Projects range in size from boutique operators right through to the largest wineries in operation.

Our aim is to take care of your environmental obligations including:

• Winery establishment feasibility assessment

• Winery expansion projects

• Winery wastewater, resource consents and compliance

• Grape marc leachate, resource consents and compliance

• Grape marc management, resource consents and compliance

• Land use and traffic matters

We are highly experienced operators in this field with a wealth of knowledge and insightful planning experience to offer.
