Lessons Learnt Preparing a 30 Year Infrastructure Strategy for the Queenstown-Lakes District
A CASE STUDY: LESSONS LEARNT PREPARING A 30 YEAR INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY FOR THE QUEENSTOWN-LAKES DISTRICT Lead Author: Polly Lambert Policy, Standards & Assets Planner, Queenstown Lakes District Council Queenstown Co-Author: Dr Deborah Lind Infrastructure Advisor, Rationale Ltd Arrowtown Abstract The Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Act 2014 became law on 8 August 2014, requiring councils to prepare an infrastructure strategy for at least a 30 year period, and to incorporate this into their long-term plans from 2015. The Queenstown Lakes District is a recognised tourism destination that supports economic growth across the southern part of the South Island of New Zealand and contributes significantly to the ‘NZ Inc.’ global brand. As such, the district is attractive to local and international investment in housing, services and visitor related activities. The current resident population of 29,000 supports the infrastructure services for a peak day population of 100,000 people. Combined with the fact that the District is one of the highest future growth areas in the country, this placed increased pressure on the three waters and transport services in terms of capacity and service delivery. This paper will share the approach, challenges and outcomes of preparing a 30 year infrastructure strategy for the Queenstown Lakes District and the lessons learnt to inform, and improve on, future infrastructure planning.

Ah Lums Store Middlesex Street, Arrowtown's Chinatown, ARROWTOWN
Ah Lums Store Middlesex Street, Arrowtown's Chinatown, ARROWTOWN http://www.historic.org.nz/Register/ListingDetail.asp?RID=4366&sm= Register Number:4366 Registration Type: Historic Place - Category I Region:Otago Region Date Registered:26/11/87 City/District Council: Queenstown-Lakes District Council Brief History: The building now known as Ah Lum’s store is one of the few buildings constructed by nineteenth-century Chinese goldminers in Otago that still stands. Chinese settlement in New Zealand began around 1865. Although those administering most regions in New Zealand actively discouraged Chinese miners from moving to New Zealand, the Otago Provincial Council invited Chinese working in Australia to come to the region. Despite the official encouragement, Chinese miners in Otago, as in all other regions, frequently met with hostility from other miners as well as from bureaucrats. The heyday of Chinese mining was during the 1870s and 1880s, when many Chinese became involved in reworking gold-bearing areas that had been deserted by European miners. The Chinese settlement at Arrowtown was about 200 metres away from the main street of Arrowtown. Despite this, the settlement and its occupants was quite socially separate from the rest of the town. By 1885 the Arrowtown settlement had grown to consist of about ten huts, made of stone or mud, a social hall and at least two stores. There was also an extensive garden area. The community was almost definitely made up entirely of men. There were a number of similar Chinese settlements adjacent to other Central Otago goldfield towns, but today Arrowtown’s is the best preserved. -

Fact Sheet for Queenstown Suburbs Arrowtown
Queenstown’s New $2 Bus Service Fact sheet for Queenstown suburbs Arrowtown INTRODUCING THE NEW BUS SERVICE The Otago Regional Council, with support from the Queenstown Lakes District Council and New Zealand Transport Authority, is launching a brand new bus service for Queenstown. It will soon be the easiest, most convenient and most affordable way to get around Queenstown with flat-rate fares for just $2. The new bus service, provided by Ritchies, will be running from November 20, 2017. We envision an efficient, modern and reliable service that becomes part of everyday life for Queenstown locals. Not only will it be a more affordable alternative to driving, it will also ease traffic congestion and reduce the impact that private transport has on our environment. The new route from Arrowtown to Arthurs Point, via Quail Rise, Frankton and Queenstown town centre, replaces the #8 Arthurs Point service and the #10 Arrowtown service. The route is more direct, via SH6A, and will no longer deviate into Lake Hayes Estate. It runs from 6.02am (outbound) to 10.54pm (inbound). The route will no longer be a ‘hail and ride’ service. New stops are located at: > Ramshaw Lane, on the river-side opposite the existing bus stop outside the Museum > Centennial Avenue, both sides of the road by the Arrowtown Holiday Park > Adamson Drive, opposite the existing stop at the Four Square > Corner of Tucker Beach Road and SH6A Ladies-Mile Highway $2 BUS: GET ON BOARD A 21ST CENTURY COMMUTE: Riders can plan their journey SAVE MONEY: Every bus fare is subsidised and riders avoid with the NZTA’s real-time Choice app and enjoy free wifi on the increasing petrol and parking costs (rates for all QLDC-owned car bus. -
