Sean Elvines

I pride myself on my ability to manage and advance projects that achieve quality changes in complex urban environments. For me, forging and maintaining personal and professional relationships is essential to the success of any planning project.

My particular area of expertise is planning in the built environment, especially comprehensive residential and apartment living and mixed use commercial developments.

I have gained both a breadth and depth of experience across a range of projects while working in the planning industries in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. This experience has also equipped me with the personal and professional skills to effectively manage and achieve outcomes of the highest possible quality.
