About the team

We would like to introduce our current Consultant Support team and talk about how we manage the SPPCConsultants@ccc.govt.nz inbox.

There are three staff members who primarily support you via the SPPCConsultants@ccc.govt.nz inbox: 

  • Gina Robson
  • Andrew Jackson
  • Dylan Cresswell-Miley

You will hear from one of them each month, as they are rostered monthly to monitor the inbox, starting and finishing mid-month. However, in times of absence or when required, any one of them can step in.

 
Helpful tips

Here are some tips to help make the administration a little easier and more consistent for everyone.

  • All invoices need to include the associated RMA number.
  • Please indicate whether it is an interim or final invoice.
  • Your invoices should also have a brief breakdown of what the costs are associated with. For example, 30 minutes of report writing by a senior planner.

  • New consents need their own purchase order (PO) number.
  • Any historic purchase order numbers you have should be ignored, and if you are unsure if the purchase order number is old, please ask. 

  • Any information relating to items such as clock holds should be forwarded to SPPCConsultants@ccc.govt.nz as evidence of the request so we can place it in the file.
  • For any email conversations you send us for our information, please ensure you include any attachments.

  • If there was a delay, and the reasoning is mainly due to the applicant or their agent, then please request an s37 extension without offering a discount.
  • If you need any assistance, email SPPCConsultants@ccc.govt.nz, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

  • Road classifications in new subdivisions relating to the acoustic insulation rule, etc. Until roads are listed in the District Plan classification list (Appendix 7.5.12) as collector or above, they can only be considered as local roads. 
  • This applies even if an operative district plan (ODP) indicates a road as collector or above. A plan change is required for them to be added to the District Plan classification list.

  • The global consents list [DOCX, 34 KB] relates to subdivisions and global consents for earthworks/NES/earthworks within 5 metres of trees etc.
