Pauline’s role has changed significantly over almost two decades with Davis Ogilvie; originally Office Manager for DO’s Greymouth predecessor, she re-trained as a Planner before relocating to our Nelson office in 2010. Pauline still oversees the majority of the West Coast planning work in addition to Nelson/Tasman consents, and has recently started processing consents for the Buller District Council in a consultancy role.

Her diverse workload has resulted in a wide range of experience including rural and urban subdivisions, District Plan changes, land use consents, mining consents, and road legalisation projects.

Maintaining excellent professional relationships with Council Planning departments is a priority for Pauline, so that any issues that arise can be resolved using a collaborative approach.

Interests outside of work

Pauline’s large extended family, now including grandchildren, keeps her occupied. She enjoys scrapbooking and refurbishing old furniture.
