Christine Hetherington

Kaiwhakamahere | Planner
Kaiarataki Matua | Senior Professional

My particular interest is in multi-disciplinary consenting projects. I have worked across a number of sectors (including commercial, infrastructural, energy, tourism/ recreational, retirement village sector, rural and residential development) and have provided advice to clients on a range of issues.

I have a broad knowledge of the Resource Management Act, including its practical application to development proposals and the resolution of environmental issues. I enjoy the challenges of the consenting process and working with both clients and Councils to achieve positive environmental outcomes.

I provide policy advice to private-sector corporate clients and to local authorities - with a particular focus on the energy and infrastructure sectors. I have a specific interest in policy development relating to complex issues working on balancing competing interests in a statutory context.
