Principal, Design Planning

Brad works in the complex world of problem solving under the RMA. He thrives on navigating a path through the RMA process and also loves the practicality of seeing his projects implemented and delivering maximum benefit to his clients.

With over 25 years of experience Brad has worked on some of the most exciting and challenging residential, infrastructure and coastal projects in Aotearoa, always delivered through a considered and tailored response to the specific project and the land. He is passionate about his role in helping to make Aotearoa an even better place. Brad has considerable experience as an expert witness to Council, Environment Court and Board of Inquiry hearings and as an RMA decision maker.

Brad is a Fellow and a Registered member of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA) as well as being the past President.

Travelling extensively throughout Aotearoa for his work during the week, Brad can be found on the weekend discovering the land from a different vantage point either on his bike or on the water—preferably with his family in tow.
