Principal PlannerMark Thode

DDI: 09 394 1698

Mark is a full member of the New Zealand Planning Institute and has over 14 years of experience in planning and resource management. Before moving to the private sector, Mark held senior positions at Auckland Council as a Principal Planner and Senior Project Manager.

His broad experience covers the full spectrum of resource consents, including complex notified and non-notified consent processes. He has extensive experience managing large urban development areas, both in terms of consenting, and as a delegated decision maker. This puts him in an ideal position to navigate and lead development proposals through the consent process. He has also been involved in the preparation of Private Plan Change requests and submissions on both private and public plan changes, and proposed District Plans.

Mark is particularly passionate about higher density urban development and place-making, coupled with best-practice urban design that reflects an innovative approach.

Married, with a daughter and young son, Mark enjoys spending time with his family, mountain biking, listening to music and anything involving the beach and sun.
