Central North Island Office - Celebrates 5 Years in Operation

Updated: Nov 20

Our Central North Island branch is celebrating 5 years of exciting growth and diversification of services offered locally.



Terra Consultants established an office in Hamilton five years ago that specialised in planning services. Flash forward to 2022 (and all of the challenges businesses have faced during the more recent years), this office now has a staff of eleven from the fields of planning, surveying, civil engineering and drafting.

We are now proud to be delivering a comprehensive suite of land development consultancy services throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, and beyond.


The progressive and timely addition of services has enabled us to provide a more effective and cohesive project life cycle, where the emphasis is on continual adaptation and improvement. We are now proud to be delivering a comprehensive suite of land development consultancy services throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, and beyond.


The Waikato team are led by Richard Falconer, who is well supported by a dedicated and ambitious team that share his vision for innovation and determination with a strong customer service ethos. Richard is incredibly pleased with the growth of the Central North Island branch, which is thanks largely to the loyalty of clients that continue to support the business and enable the growth of new relationships through word-of-mouth referrals. We have amassed an incredibly diverse range of project type and scale over our five years in business, with infill residential development being one of our particular specialities.

Richard is excited about the prospects for the future of the Hamilton office. The growth of the Waikato Region’s employment and residential sectors has been unprecedented with opportunities abound due to Central Government reform that will reshape the development landscape in the years ahead. Richard feels the Waikato office is ideally positioned to assist the development community in maximising benefits within a challenging economic climate.
