Landpro History

From Two Desks to a National Consultancy… Back in 2007, two determined women, Kathryn Hooper and Kate Scott, set up a small planning and surveying firm in Cromwell. What began as a two-person team with a big vision quickly grew into something much bigger.

From those early days in a tiny office, Landpro has grown into a national consultancy with 50+ staff, offering expertise in planning, surveying, GIS, environmental science, and aerial mapping, all grounded in deep local knowledge and practical insight.

Our first leap?
Adding a drone.

Our big move?
Buying Sylvie the Cessna Skymaster, and launching full-scale aerial and LiDAR services across NZ, the Tasman and Pacific.

Our proudest achievement?
Still working alongside many of our very first clients today.

We walk the long road with you. Through changing regulations, evolving land use, and growing ambitions, we show up with integrity and do the work properly.

17 years on, we’re still growing, and still committed to doing what’s right for the land, the people, and the long-term outcome.
