What people are saying

“Burnette has been our planner for approximately five years and in that time has always provided quality planning advice, responded to time pressures in a professional and friendly manner and has always ensured quality solutions-based outcomes are delivered. Burnette has been a key part of a consultant team that has delivered on a wide range of projects including mixed use development at Glendene, commercial development and a retirement village at Silverdale.”

“I just wanted to say, what an awesome team!!  Thanks Burnette, Elliot, Grant, and Andrew you guys all rock. The collaboration between you, the calm calculated confidence, and the professional approach with humility and zero arrogance, stood out from the other guys. To us Laymen. I believe we did our part too, in articulating the real world, without overstating but while making it clear our loss of amenity. Amy you should be proud of your son. I love how he leveraged his engineering project management experience.  Richard, I like how you kept your calm while telling your story and clear real answers to the questions. I was proud too, to be presenting together with Paulina.”

“I remember a sticky consent and how professional and competent you (Burnette) were. You had council on backfoot from the start, which really impressed me. The way you plainly explained the technical issues resonated with me as I find the people who actually know the most are the ones who can convey complex issues simply.”

Scott Lamason, Director at Engineous Consulting

"Thanks to you and the team for a very productive wananga with a lot of stimulating korero and a real willingness to share insights and intel.”

"Just heard a funny question from one of the commissioners about submitters misunderstanding the process but “not the well-informed ones like Ms O’Connor’s clients”.
