Hi Michael,
We would like to thank you very much for your professional approach to the application for the resource consent, we are absolutely delighted with the result especially being on a non-notified basis and would be more than happy to invite you around on the completion of this project.
Kind regards
Rob Stephens
"We found Michael Campbell at a time of despair dealing with “The Council”. It is a nightmare if you are a novice, which we are. Michael is extremely professional, kept us informed verbally and by email follow up and carried out all activities in a timely fashion. His knowledge of the workings of The Council ensured our application progressed smoothly and ended with a positive result. We would not hesitate to use his services again in the future."
"Recently our RSA engaged the services of Campbell Brown Planning to assist us in a potentially complicated Resource Consent process. Our initial investigations confirmed that we were likely to encounter a number of difficult issues making it critical that we engaged the best services available. After reviewing a number of company portfolios we decided to engage the services of Campbell Brown Planning, sure that their background as top key persons employed by the previous Council would be beneficial to our chances of success. (This proved to be accurate on all levels).
As a Club we are incredibly fortunate to now have secured our Resource Consent without the need to (a) undertake any additional expensive works OR (b) the need to seek additional permission of property owners, something we could not have imagined possible at the outset as early indications suggested that a form of ‘Notified Consent’ would be likely, a potentially expensive and lengthy process.
The skill level, ongoing communication and expertise displayed by Campbell Brown throughout has been directly responsible for streamlining a potentially difficult legislative process and has allowed us to proceed well ahead of time saving us considerable expense. Campbell Brown also recommended the services of reputable specialists as and when required and coordinated with these specialists to ensure the process kept moving swiftly and efficiently.
I would recommend Campbell Brown Planning to any individual or business looking to embark on this type of process. I wish Campbell Brown Planning every success in the future as it is comforting knowing that when I refer their services in the future that these person(s) will receive professional expertise and the utmost level of communication at all times throughout the process."
"It was a pleasure to have my subdivision application prepared and lodged by Campbell Brown Planning. Their professionalism, excellent planning skills, and their in depth knowledge of how Council operates gave me absolute confidence about getting a good outcome in a reasonable time and at a sensible cost. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is looking for similar services."
"Great cities are created by people with passion and vision.
I have been honoured to be Mayor of Waitakere for 18 years and it has been an extraordinary journey assisted by extraordinary people. Things did not just happen in isolation but have been accomplished by hard work and faultless dedication by individuals like Mr Michael Campbell and Mr Philip Brown.
The projects that we have completed and the tasks accomplished are now recognised throughout New Zealand and indeed the world. I would like to acknowledge the work of Philip and Michael who now move into the private sector and I and this Council acknowledge their work and wishes them well in their endeavours.
Together they have given this city its reputation and project second to none in New Zealand Local Government. Working with the vision of an Eco city, they have taken the Council to new heights of excellence and I know they will continue to do so, particularly as Waitakere is incorporated into the new Auckland Council.
Waitakere leaves behind an energised, proud community. Our built environment of libraries, stadia, our Civic Centre and transport hub is a tribute to them as well as a community that has seen what professionalism and care can do.
I am joined by my Council colleagues in cheering them on and thanking them for an outstanding contribution."
