Ensure your resource consent application has the best chance of being accepted or assess the flood risk of your area with an expert hydrology report.

Monitoring Support & Assessments


If your property or planned development sits in an overland flow path, historic flood overlays, land subject innundation or even particular building overlays, then your property may be at risk of flooding events. Potential for flooding events presents a real risk to people, vehicles and property, and can result in planning application rejections.

To understand this risk and seek support for resource consents, reports prepared by our expert hydrologists can help model stormwater flows, map flood-prone areas and simulate the pre- and post-development scenarios of rainfall events.

Our comprehensive assessments will take into account flood risk, groundwater impacts, water quality protection, erosion and more to ensure that your requirements meet regulatory standards.
