Local planners for land, water and development projects.

Navigate planning, resource consents and environmental requirements with clarity and confidence.

Straightforward planning, grounded in local knowledge.

Southern Land & Water Planning (SLWP) helps people navigate planning, resource consents and environmental requirements with clarity and confidence. 

Based in Otago and Southland, we work closely with landowners, businesses and communities throughout the region, while also supporting projects across New Zealand. 

From farms and rural enterprises to homes, subdivisions and commercial developments, we help turn good ideas into approved, workable outcomes. 

Planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right advice early, it can be a powerful tool.
