Unlocking subdivision potential in Mangawhai: An environmental benefit subdivision

Local Barfoot and Thompson real estate agent Bridget Selby engaged Horizon Surveying and Land Development to realise the subdivision potential of her rural Mangawhai property.

Under the Environmental Benefit Subdivision provisions of the Kaipara District Plan, 2.5ha of native bush was identified on Bridget’s property as worthy of protection and Horizon was able to successfully create three secluding bush sites from its protection, leaving a 3.7ha balance site for Bridget to build her forever home.

Bridget expressed her gratitude, stating, "Thank you guys for all your hard work. I am absolutely rapt with the outcome, could you please pass on our thanks to the whole team for all your hard work.

I have been recommending your team to people and will continue to do so. Your service is outstanding and you leave every other planning company in this area for dead.

I look forward to working with you in the future to finish the subdivision and any other planning we need done we will only work with you."

The Horizon team found it a pleasure to work with Bridget, helping her realize her dreams while securing the permanent protection of a Department of Conservation Level 1 recognized remnant of native forest. This achievement not only fulfilled Bridget's personal aspirations but also ensured the preservation of a valuable ecological area for future generations.

This project exemplifies the powerful impact of thoughtful land development and the importance of protecting our natural heritage. Horizon Surveying and Land Development remains committed to delivering outstanding service and results, contributing positively to both personal projects and environmental conservation.
