Services we offer, but not limited to, include:

  • Understanding what is present on-site, prior to any further time of budget being spent, is a major key to ensuring the most environmentally friendly and cost effective routes are taken. We'll scope assess your site, leveraging our wide knowledge base to offer you a cost effective way to make informed decisions.

  • Our values and impacts assessments are based on the Environmental Institute of Australia and New Zealand guidelines. Combining methodologies from the NPS-IB and NPS-FM we will create you thorough and unique deliverables to attach to your consent application.

  • If your censent is granted with monitoring conditions, we're here to help your project remain compliant. We will handle the administration of ensuring your ongoing monitoring is conducted on time and utilise cutting edge technology to keep our work efficient, comprehensive and cost effective.

  • We have a range of experience and DOC issued qualifications in house regarding the survey and management of native fauna. Whether its fish passage assessment, bat roosts, birds nests or native lizards, we intend to achieve positive benefits to biodiversity across all our projects. If a project is contentious or particularly specialised, we can work in with relevant experts to ensure what we deliver is gold standard.

  • To offset the impact of your projects we will work in with you to find areas with high potential to enhance. We'll design, quantify and monitor your offset - ensuring your budget is utilised in the most effective and environmentally beneficially way.

  • Comprehensive GIS mapping is a key tool we use to clarify the statements in our reports. We are exceptionally good at GIS and actively seek ways to further streamline consents by packing vast quantities of information into map format.

  • Strategic advisory at any stage of your project is a cornerstone of Restore NZ. There is always a best approach to any scenario and we aim to help you find it.

    Some of the biggest savings of time, budget and valuable ecological resources comes from high-level guidance we give our clients on how to achieve project goals and navigate complex challenges.

  • "What is actually on site and what does that mean for the project?" is a common question we run into.

    We'll assess the variety (or lack of) habitats present on your site and the ecological value they provide.

  • When consent conditions stipulate ongoing monitoring, we are here to assess your site and guide any maintenance required. We’ll produce the management plans and incorporate best practice techniques to ensure your monitoring is done efficiently.

  • When its time to get the ball rolling you may have any number of creative consent conditions to comply with. If an ecologist is required for sign off, salvage or overseeing works we'll be right there to help. We have experience on some major infrastructure projects across NZ and are well versed in health and safety when working around live machinery.

  • We aim to utilise all areas of offset and enhancement to its best ability.

    Often areas can serve a duel function and we'll work in with design teams and project management to find overlap in what must be included and what was already in the design wish list.

  • A good conversations can save you a thousand steps and a clear dialogue is the shortcut to understanding.

    If third parties are to be engaged then we're happy to be the middleman.

Let’s Schedule an Initial Scoping

We aim for the best solutions for our clients and the environment. Our highest leverage work happens early, assessing the site before design. From there, our strategic advisory guides your consent through any challenges, saving time and money while restoring the environment in the process.
