This month we welcomed two new staff members to the team. Rakesh Mistry joins us as Senior Planner, and Jessie Blundell as our Senior Surveyor. With their knowledge and capabilities we know Horizon will reach new heights.
Rakesh is an experienced town planner with a passion for working on heritage projects, as well as shaping urban and rural environments. His deep understanding of planning principles allows him to balance the complexities of both historical preservation and modern development needs.
Rakesh’s secret power lies in his background in technology, which gives him an edge in adopting innovative solutions. His tech-savvy approach complements his planning expertise, ensuring projects are not only thoughtfully designed but also future-proof.
Earlier this month Horizon hosted its first event, An Insight to Rural Subdivision at the Stillwater Boating Club. It was great to connect with so many passionate minds. Stay tuned for our next event coming soon!
When planning a subdivision, engaging a Landscape Architect can make all the difference. Here's how they can help:
Essential for most rural subdivisions in Kaipara, these assessments support your resource consent application by demonstrating how the development will fit within the natural landscape.
Well-planned planting not only meets council requirements but adds value to your property when it’s time to sell.
Developing thoughtful guidelines ensures high-quality future development that complements the surrounding environment.
Once consent is granted, these detailed plans guide you through planting, monitoring, and maintaining the landscape.
Get the final tick of approval from the Council with comprehensive reports that confirm planting is complete and meets all requirements.
Whether it’s for consent approval, future-proofing your investment, or creating an attractive environment for buyers, a Landscape Architect ensures your subdivision is successful, sustainable, and adds lasting value. If you have a project that requires the assistance of a Landscape Architect you can email Caitlin at caitlin@hsld.z or call (09) 431 4568.
