Navigating Regulations

Understanding national and local rules, and adapting them to suit your goals is a crucial part of the process. The introduction of the NPS-HPL (National Policy Statement for Highly Productive Land) in 2022 is one of the most restricting and limiting pieces of legislation to come out of the previous Government, when it comes to subdividing most rural land. Our experts can help you navigate these complex regulations to achieve the result you want and ensure compliance, and offer advice on how to present the land for optimal sale value. Whether it’s about providing visual aids such as fencing and entranceway design to enhance appeal, complying with the requirements of regulatory organisations NZTA, or seeking advice to minimize risks and costs, Survus Rural are here to help.
