I am a specialist in resource management and environmental law, having worked in these and other areas of litigation since 1990. I was a partner in the firm of Wynn Williams, and head of that firm’s resource management and local government team from 1998 to 2013, prior to joining Saunders & Co in 2023. 

 

My areas of expertise include:

 

  • urban development strategies and plans
  • regional and district plans and zoning changes
  • air quality plans and consents for discharging contaminants to air
  • surface water and groundwater quality plans and consents for discharging contaminants to water
  • resource consents for taking and discharging irrigation water, and damming water
  • resource consents for marine farming
  • resource consents for landfills
  • prosecutions for environmental offences
  • heritage issues, including preservation of the character of the Arts Centre
  • use of scientific modelling in relation to air quality, surface and groundwater quality, transport flows, and airport noise contours

 

As I also have a degree in natural resources engineering, I am ideally equipped to deal with the complex technical evidence which most environmental cases involve.

 

I enjoy the forward-looking nature of environmental law, where we work collaboratively to design our best future.

 

In my spare time, I stay fit by practising yoga, gardening, and going to the beach.

 

I specialise in the following areas:
