Honest and upfront advice from day one

"I have worked with Vivian+Espie for a number of years now on a particularly complex and multi-faceted tourism project in the Rural General zone – LandEscape Wanaka. This project had the potential to be contentious and very difficult as it is set on a key location within a small farming property just outside Wanaka.

Vivian+Espie have helped steer the project through the turbulent waters of the Resource Consent process in a manner that has avoided controversy, evaded some of the worst aspects of the process and appears set to achieve a very positive outcome. The project has had several process driven changes in strategy and direction and the team at Vivian+Espie have handled these with aplomb and alacrity and given meaningful and useful advice throughout the journey.

I assure the uninitiated entering this process that you absolutely must have highly professional advisors to guide you through the unavoidable realities of an uncaring bureaucratic system that really wants to eat you alive and will do so if you let it. I unreservedly recommend Vivian+Espie for the task."

'We have been working with Vivian & Espie for approx. 17 years and on a large variety of subdivision work across the Wakatipu basin.

Their expertise and knowledge in the district plan is extensive, and the strategies provided have proved very helpful in our projects to date. Given the changing nature of council policies and the increased bureaucratic hurdles to jump, Carey & the team are able to help navigate through the system, make the process is smooth as possible, and mitigate lengthy delays to the best of their ability.

The team constantly keep an eye on the changing environment and advise of potential rezoning that may have an effect on my property.

Their approachability and professionalism is to be commended, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services."
