Kerry Thompson, Office Manager at Nicklin CE – Surveying Planning Engineering.

“Having grown up in Cambridge, I have a strong connection to the area and a real appreciation for the people, places, and lifestyle that make this region such a great place to live. I enjoy the balance Cambridge offers, with easy access and short drives to beaches, camping spots, the outdoors, and the snow, while still being part of a close and active local community.

My involvement in resource management planning has developed naturally through my work with the team, and while it is not my only area of focus, it has become an aspect of the job that I really enjoy. Much of my work involves compliance and supporting projects as they progress through to completion, which has given me the opportunity to understand our clients’ needs from the outset and see projects through from start to finish. I find it rewarding being involved across different stages of a project, understanding the project parameters early, and helping ensure matters are worked through in a practical and organised way.

One of the aspects I value most is being part of a supportive and knowledgeable team. Having access to guidance, direction, and shared experience has been an important part of my development and allows me to contribute confidently while continuing to learn.

Outside of work, I am part of a very active household. Mountain biking, BMX racing, hiking, camping, and school sports keep us busy throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy being able to work in a field that connects with people, places, and communities, while also living in an area that supports the lifestyle my family and I enjoy.” – Kerry Thompson, Planner (and Office Manager)

Meet our Planner – Simone Williams, Senior Planner | BEMP, Int. NZPI.

Senior Planner Simone Williams from Nicklin CE – Surveying Planning Engineering

“I have fourteen years of experience, including time in local government and private practice. My experience includes the preparation and management of complex resource consent applications for residential, industrial, rural and subdivision developments, including notified applications. I have also prepared and presented planning evidence at Council hearings, acted as the planning lead for applicants in Environment Court mediation and provided due diligence and feasibility advice to clients across New Zealand.

For me, planning is about people, places and problem solving. I enjoy working with clients to understand what they are trying to achieve, then helping them navigate the consenting process in a practical and efficient way. I also enjoy the variety of the work. No two projects are ever quite the same.

When I’m not at work, I’m usually out adventuring with my two children, aged 5 and 9. We love getting outdoors and exploring new places together. I also love skiing and running, and my happy place is definitely in the mountains, preferably with snow.” – Simone Williams, Senior Planner | BEMP, Int. NZPI.

Senior Planner Gareth Moran from Nicklin CE – Surveying Planning Engineering

“A product of Te Kuiti, I have over 20 years’ experience in the planning industry I am passionate about local projects and working with local people. Across my career, I have built a strong understanding of resource management processes from both a local government and private consultant perspective, spending the last seven years working for private based clients within the Waikato Region. Prior to that, I managed the consent department at Waipa District Council.

Away from work, I have two young boys (0 and 9) , and love nothing more than heading up a remote river fly fishing or getting the boat out on the ocean. To my detriment, I’m also a passionate NZ Warriors fan and enjoy refereeing Hautapu Junior Rugby on Saturday mornings in winter.” – Gareth Moran, Senior Planner | BRS, MNZPI.

“As a Tauranga local with family based in the Bay of Plenty, I’ve always had a strong connection to the region and its communities. Watching the area grow and evolve over the years has given me a real appreciation for the balance between development, environmental values, and maintaining the qualities that make this region such a great place to live.

What I enjoy most about planning is the problem solving aspect. Every project presents its own challenges, and I find it rewarding working with clients, councils, and project teams to find practical solutions and help projects move forward. I also enjoy being part of a great team of like minded people who are passionate about what they do and committed to achieving positive outcomes.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me making the most of the outdoors. I enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking, working in my vegetable garden, and following sport. When I’m not out exploring the region, I’m often working on renovation projects around my house. Living and working in the Bay of Plenty allows me to combine my professional interests with the lifestyle I enjoy, which is something I value greatly.”  – Tom Christie, Planning Task Lead | BEP, Int. NZPI.
