Planning is about sustainable development - about making positive changes that stand the test of time. However, risk is inherent in both change itself and the planning profession.

For example:

• Unclear briefings
• Poor input from other professionals
• Unrealistic client expectations
• Changing regulations

All of the above can result in project problems and allegations of professional negligence from an unhappy client, who then seeks financial compensation.

To ensure you have the legal and financial backing to defend and/or settle such a claim, the NZPI has asked leading insurance broker, Aon, to secure the most comprehensive and competitive Professional Indemnity cover available.
