Planning.

Planalytics has deep and wide-ranging experience in strategic land use, spatial, and urban planning across both New Zealand and international contexts. Our approach is grounded in robust evidence and practical insight, delivering planning solutions that are adaptive, inclusive, and future-focused.

As active members of the New Zealand Planning Institute, we bring specialist capability in regional spatial planning, district and city policy development, and the preparation and processing of resource consents. Our work supports integrated planning that aligns land use with infrastructure, environmental values, and community aspirations.

We are particularly passionate about demystifying the planning process - facilitating meaningful community engagement and helping stakeholders navigate New Zealand’s evolving planning framework. Whether contributing to legislative reform, shaping long-term spatial strategies, or advising on complex development projects, we aim to deliver plans that enable resilient, connected, and well-supported communities.
