  Kauati uses the knowledge of the past to enlighten environmental policy and planning. Policy development, heritage protection, historical and contemporary research, legislative compliance and implementation. My specific focus is on strategic communications and engagement planning. This enables Kauati to implement systems that best provide for engagement with project partners, clients, iwi, local or central government, within a Tiriti o Waitangi based approach.
