SouthernSkies Environmental Limited was established in 2003 by experienced environmental and resource management practitioners.

Each of our senior staff have longstanding experience in providing technical, consenting and policy services, as well as training services to regional, city and district councils, and other public and private organisations throughout New Zealand.

Our high level of experience managing consent application processes and understanding these activities from both the regulator and project team perspective. This gives SouthernSkies a key advantage in understanding the critical need to maintain high levels of communication and positive relationships with regulatory staff, applicants and key stakeholders in the management of resource consent applications at all levels of complexity. This also gives us an advantage in understanding different regulatory expectations and mechanisms for providing project flexibility through designation and consent conditions.

All members of the company understand the responsibilities that are inherent in providing services to public and private organisations and share the commitment to environmental stewardship that those organisations hold.

Professionalism and ethical behaviour is a core principle of the company. This is reflected throughout all our activities. SouthernSkies staff are members (associate and full) of the New Zealand Planning Institute, Resource Management Law Association, International Erosion Control Association and the New Zealand Association of Resource Management.
