If you need a resource consent — for taking water, managing dairy effluent, or as part of your environmental regulations — the process can be time-consuming and sometimes confusing. There are rules to follow, technical details to work through, and often a lot of paperwork.
Allegrow is a locally owned and operated business based in the Bay of Plenty. We specialise in supporting farmers and growers with environmental requirements, including water take consents and other aspects of farm planning. Our team understands the practical challenges that come with managing rural land and water use, and we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible. You can meet the team here.
We have experience preparing resource consent applications across the region and work closely with councils to help our clients get the information they need and meet their obligations. We also have strong working relationships with iwi and hapū, and consultation is a standard part of the process for every water take consent we prepare.
Here’s what working with us typically involves:
- We handle technical details and council communication
- We support any required consultation with iwi/hapū
- We provide clear advice on what you need to do once the consent is granted
- We work to make sure your application is accurate, complete, and submitted on time
- We guide you through the consent process and explain what’s needed at each step
The aim is to ensure you end up with a solid consent that gives you enough water to support your operation, and clarity on how to meet the conditions going forward.
Earlier this year, we marked 10 years of supporting landowners in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne regions. You can read more about that here.
Every consent situation is different, and it helps to have support from people familiar with the process and the local context.
