RPC – Surveying Planning Engineering [June 2026 Edition] | Projects, Insights & Updates

Hello, Kia ora,

Welcome back to our RPC – Surveying Planning Engineering [June 2026 Edition].

This month, we’ve continued our involvement in a number of significant community and development initiatives, reinforcing our commitment to helping shape the growth of the regions we serve.

Inside this edition, Paul Harvey shares practical Q&A insights again, providing guidance on another question we are most frequently asked by clients and stakeholders.

We’re also delighted to announce the appointment of two new planners to our growing team. This investment further expands our planning expertise and service capacity across Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty, enabling us to provide even greater support to clients navigating increasingly complex development and regulatory environments.

If you have any questions regarding the topics covered in this newsletter or would like to discuss an upcoming project, we encourage you to contact our team.
