Landplay, Our Team, Landplay - about land development in New Zealand

LandPlay was founded in 2021 from a desire to use our planning, surveying and legal knowledge and skillsets to create truly sustainable developments with a focus on places with high natural amenity and access to nature. We are passionate about identifying and creating development solutions which contribute positively to society and the environment. We believe positive commercial outcomes can go hand in hand with ethical developments, leaving behind legacy projects that developers and future residents can be proud of, and thrive in. We believe a positive project journey is important and work collaboratively with clients and multiple project partners to create an outcome that everyone is proud of.
