Environment & Resource Management

Navigating environmental and resource management matters requires more than just legal expertise—it demands a deep understanding of the diverse needs of both public and private sector clients. At McCaw Lewis, we offer strategic guidance through every stage of your development or consenting project, ensuring you are well-supported in addressing any issues that may arise along the way. Whether you are embarking on a new development or navigating complex consenting requirements, we are here to help you achieve your goals with clarity, confidence, and cultural awareness.

We recognise the critical importance of Māori involvement in environmental and resource consent processes. Our team places this at the forefront of our approach, drawing on a firm understanding of the policy frameworks that affect Te Ao Māori. We are experienced in how these policies can operate alongside tikanga, ensuring that your project is not only compliant but also respectful and inclusive.

We are dedicated to supporting iwi, hapū, and whānau with their resource management aspirations. Our team understands the unique perspectives and priorities of Māori communities, and we work alongside you to ensure your voice is heard and your values are respected throughout the resource management process. Whether you are seeking to protect taonga, participate in consultation, or advance development projects, we provide practical advice and advocacy to help you achieve outcomes that align with both your tikanga and the relevant legal frameworks.
