For private land developments, Civix Town Planners, Chartered Engineers and Licensed Cadastral Surveyors have got you covered from the initial site visit through to council sign off. We do a wide range of work from engineering for single lots through to resource consenting, engineering drawings, construction setout, supervision, as-builting and sign-off (223 and 224C) for large subdivisions.

For our public sector clients, Civix works with local councils to help manage, plan and optimise in the areas of asset management, flooding and water quality management. Our team has significant experience working in and for councils, enabling us to deliver results for our public sector clients.   Learn More →

Mangawhai 40 Lot Subdivision

Mangawhai 40 Lot Subdivision
Planning, Engineering, Surveying

CIVIX completed the engineering design for resource consent and the engineering plan approval for the WHAI AWA development, a 40 lot residential subdivision off Pearson Street in Mangawhai.

The design utilised rain gardens for treatment and realigned overland flow paths through the site to significantly reduce flooding on neighbouring properties. The tree-lined street is a great showcase for what green engineering can achieve. We are very proud to have been involved in shaping this beautiful area in collaboration with Dream Planning.

"CIVIX did a brilliant job on the design of this development which included streetscape design elements and all civil engineering aspects. Not only does the engineering design incorporate sustainable and low impact stormwater management and treatment, it has contributed to creating an aesthetically pleasing development which has made it a point of difference to a conventional subdivision in the area." - Jackson Worsfold, Development Manager (Pro Land Matters Co).

CIVIX’s planning and civil engineering specialists obtained resource consent for an exciting, new residential and commercial development in the popular Freemans Bay Catchment, on the corner of Ireland St & Scotland St in Auckland.

The project is a 6 story, mixed use, boutique development with consent being granted, in collaboration with FORMiS Architects, despite the additional level proposed.

CIVIX’s planning team secured resource consent for a modern extension to a protected workers' cottage which formed part of a protected group of heritage dwellings.

Initially, the consent was recommended for notification via the processing planner. The duty commissioner agreed with us and determine the consent did not need to be notified.

Consent was finally obtained as originally set out despite not being supported by Council specialists.

We worked in collaboration with Jessops Architects and heritage experts; Adam Wild and Richard Knott.

Thanks to our clients who believed in the development and obtained the approval they wanted.

CIVIX's planning division collaborated on a boutique apartment development, Ngaio and Grace, designed by Archaus. It consists of six high quality apartments on a corner site which enabled GFA to be maximised while preserving beautiful views out to the Orakei Basin.

The consent was difficult to obtain due to it being in a catchment where neighbours and local board sought for the consent to be notified however our team were able to get non notified consent approval for the development.

We look forward to see construction start on this project. Please see more information on the development here: www.ngaioandgrace.co.nz

Residential Development in Hauraki

CIVIX completed the planning, civil engineering, and surveying for two adjacent residential developments on Francis Street in the sought after, Hauraki Corner on Auckland's North Shore.

We were involved from resource consent through to the 224C application for these 2 developments in conjunction with the architects from X Studio.

Unique engineering features for these sites include the usage of permeable driveways to reduce stormwater management requirements for the site and siphon systems for the building roof areas. These innovative engineering approaches enabled the sites to be developed despite being located below the public SW line in the roadway.

CIVIX's Planning, Surveying and Civil Engineering teams worked collectively on the review of Otahuhu Bay's resource consent. Otahuhu Bay is a residential development situated alongside the idyllic Tamaki River in Otahuhu.

This revision, with consent now granted, included reformatting and resubmitting the consent to enable a more efficient design and higher yield. The original terrace housing was not financially viable and therefore were replaced by 35 freehold, architecturally designed, walkup apartments.

It was a pleasure to collaborate with Matz Architects and the Falconer Group on this exciting project and we are happy to have a hand in helping this project move forward.

CIVIX obtained a non notified, mixed use resource consent for a new development on Putiki Street in Grey Lynn. This project comprises of offices and apartments across 6 stories.

The challenge with this development is that it is a narrow and sloping site on the southern ridge below Great North Road with street interface and required off-street parking. However, we were able to maximise land usage in collaboration with FORMiS Architects and have clients who are very pleased with the outcome.

We very much look forward to seeing this project commence construction.
