Landscape Planning and Assessment
Boffa Miskell's landscape planners are leaders in landscape and visual assessment work in New Zealand and are in demand as expert witnesses before the Environment Court. Projects typically involve landscape at the large scale, such as district-wide landscape management issues, infrastructure development or land development.
Landscape planning services include:
- District-wide or regional landscape and visual assessments, frequently including ecological assessment, and the development of recommended mechanisms;
- Assessment of landscape and visual effects of proposed development projects for consent applications under the Resource Management Act, including advice on mitigation of effects;
- Site selection studies for resorts, landfills, new communities and infrastructure projects;
- Research and resource studies e.g. landscape perception studies;
- Landscape policy advice.
