  • Before the Hearings Panel for the Queenstown Lakes Proposed District Plan
    BEFORE THE HEARINGS PANEL FOR THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER Minute Concerning the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM OF COUNSEL ON BEHALF OF QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL REGARDING THE NATIONAL POLICY STATEMENT ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY 19 April 2017 Barristers & Solicitors S J Scott Telephone: +64-3-968 4018 Facsimile: +64-3-379 5023 Email: [email protected] PO Box 874 SOLICITORS CHRISTCHURCH 8140 MAY IT PLEASE THE PANEL: 1. This supplementary memorandum is filed on behalf of the Queenstown Lakes District Council (Council) to respond to a question from the Hearing Panel (Panel) asked during Hearing Stream 10. 2. The Panel asked the Council to confirm where Arrowtown and other towns sit in relation to the definition of 'urban environment' in the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity 2016 (NPSUDC or NPS). Specifically, the Panel asked whether those towns form part of the Queenstown or Wanaka 'urban environments'. This question relates to paragraphs 23 and 24 of the Council's Memorandum of Counsel dated 3 March 2017 (March Memorandum), where it is stated that although there is some uncertainty as to what parts of the District are an 'urban environment' in their own right, it is accepted that Queenstown itself is a 'high growth urban area' and therefore the NPS applies to the District as a whole. The March Memorandum then states that the NPS provisions apply in tiers and differentiates between the parts of the NPS that refer to urban environments, urban environments expected to experience growth, and medium and high- growth urban areas.

  • Queenstown at a Glance
    QUEENSTOWN AT A GLANCE LOCATION Nestled in the Southern Alps of New Zealand on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is the premier four season lake and alpine resort in the Southern Hemisphere and is rated as one of the world's top destinations. It is situated 310m (1,017ft) above sea level at latitude 45 degrees south and longitude 169 degrees west. CLIMATE A popular holiday spot at any time of the year, Queenstown is renowned for its four distinctive seasons. The alpine climate means winter brings crisp, clear blue-sky days amongst snow-capped mountains, spring retains the snow but blooms into longer, warmer days, summer offers hot days averaging 26ºC and long twilights, and autumn’s brilliant red and gold colours are a special feature across the region. Summer: Hot and dry, daytime high 18-30ºC, nights generally cool Autumn: Clear warm days, daytime 12-25ºC, nights cool to cold Winter: Crisp clear days, daytime 5-10ºC, nights cold Spring: Crisp morning and evening, 9-20ºC, nights cool Annual rainfall: 913mm (36 inches) Average annual snowfall: It snows down to lake level (downtown) on average about 3 times in winter Coronet Peak 2.03m (about 6.5ft) per annum The Remarkables 3.67m (about 12ft) per annum Cardrona 2.7m (about 8.9ft) per annum POPULATION According to New Zealand’s last census in 2006, Queenstown and its surrounds of Arrowtown, Glenorchy and Kingston are home to a permanent population of approximately 17,000. (Note: the 2011 census was postponed) At the height of the summer and winter visitors can outnumber locals by as many as 3 to 1 VISITOR NUMBERS Queenstown hosts around 2 million visitors a year – 48% international and 52% domestic Queenstown’s peak seasons are late December to March and the months of July and August HOW TO GET HERE Air Queenstown has an international airport located a 10-minute drive from the town centre.

This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part, provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN 978-0-478-37673-9 Report writer: Jens Rekker, Resource Scientist Reviewed by: John Threlfall, Director of Environmental Science & Information Published July 2014 Investigation into the Wakatipu Basin Aquifers i Overview Background The Otago Region Council (ORC) is responsible for managing Otago’s water resources on behalf of the Crown and the community. The basin investigations that ORC conducts from time to time for the 20-plus groundwater areas around Otago are important building blocks in delivering informed water resource management. In recognition of population increase and land-use change in the Wakatipu Basin in the last 20 years, ORC saw the need for a fresh groundwater-resource investigation into its aquifers, including the Shotover floodplain and Frankton Terrace. Why is allocation of groundwater necessary? Compared to surface water, groundwater resources are not visible. Instances of the over- exploitation of groundwater elsewhere have caught communities by surprise, partly due to this lack of visibility. Signs of over-exploitation are hard to spot and occur gradually, often over decades. Placing a limit on the amount of groundwater that can be taken in any particular year, and implementing other controls, helps to prevent the resource from being outstripped.

    Natural history The existing vegetation is very different from the original Skippers patchy cover of mountain beech/tawhai and shrubland, thanks to fires, grazing, gold mining and settlement. Walks and tracks in Above 900 metres, snow tussock is predominant. Subalpine shrubs include dracophyllum, hebes and the Shotover valley olearia. The shady gullies shelter mountain beech, broadleaf, coprosma, mountain wineberry and bush lawyer. Berry plants and herbs were part of the early settlers’ attempts to supplement their meagre diets. Introduced wilding conifers spread rapidly and threaten slower growing native plants. DOC and the Wakatipu Wilding Conifer Control Group (WCG) are controlling wildings in Skippers to minimise their impact on the area’s landscape and ecology. The aim is to halt their spread and allow the natural landscape and habitat to recover. To restore the character of the area some locations around the township will be replanted with non-spreading species. You will notice dead pine trees THIS IS A HISTORIC RESERVE – these have been deliberately sprayed as part of the All the material on this site is protected control programme.

  • Before the Hearings Panel for the Queenstown Lakes Proposed District Plan ______
    Before the Hearings Panel For the Queenstown Lakes Proposed District Plan ___________________________________________________________________ Under the Resource Management Act 1991 (‘RMA’) In the matter of District Wide Hearing Stream 15 – Visitor Accommodation ___________________________________________________________________ Legal Submission and Statements of evidence of DJA Barrell and DJA Barrell, BW Riddolls, PM Riddolls and R Thomson - (Submitter 2175) Dated 10 September 2018 Nicola Vryenhoek for and on behalf of Dynamic Guest House Ltd 1. This submission is presented on behalf of Dynamic Guest House Ltd (‘DGH’ formerly Dynamic Living Ltd). I am co-owner and director of DGH who owns a property on Frankton Road in an area zoned High Density Residential (HDR). DGH was zoned Visitor Accommodation under the Operative District Plan when the property was purchased by the directors and subsequently when the initial investment was made redeveloping the property in 2001-2002.1 The HDR zone is now predominantly visitor accommodation and is properly considered a mixed-use zone. 2. I disagree with Ms Bowbyes comments at para 9.46 of the s42A Report provided under the Resource Management Act 1991(RMA). The only ‘environmental effects’ that now potentially fall outside the permitted baseline of effects in the VA/HDR zone are positive effects (although arguably anticipated effects). These flow directly to DGH and onwards to the local community through the exchange of money for services. 2 Positive effects also include less pressure on Council
