Sunfield Fast-Track Application

Large-scale master-planned greenfield suburb

Tattico provided strategic planning advice and guidance on how to navigate the Fast-Track Approvals Act 2024, which culminated in a fast-track application across 250 hectares with $3.2billion of benefits for:

• 3,854 healthy homes, consisting of individual homes and 3 retirement villages containing independent living units.
• 460,000 sqm of employment, healthcare and education buildings.
• permanent jobs for over 11,000 people.
• a 7.5 hectare town centre.
• a school.
• a further 4 local hubs located throughout the community.
• A community designed to enable “car-less” living.
• 25.6 hectares of open spaces, green links, recreation parks and reserves and ecological areas.
• an extensive restoration and native planting of the core stream and wetland network.
• the establishment of the Sunfield renewable solar energy network for the community.
• the Sunbus autonomous electric shuttle fleet.

This application is arguably the largest consent ever sought and granted in New Zealand and required flexibility, attention to detail and co-ordination across a multitude of disciplines.
