Outstanding Bar of the Year 2021 Confi Dence That We Are Indeed, Delivering for Our Local Community JOBS 157INSIDE 11th May- 17th May FIRST ON THE STREET No 800 WWW.LWB.CO.NZ • BUY • ACCOMMODATION • SELL • INFORMATION • JOBS • [email protected] We publish our 800th edition today On the 5th July back in 2005, the Lakes Weekly Bulletin hit the streets for the very fi rst time. That edition was just 4 pages. This week we celebrate our 800th edition. Not bad going especially considering the last twelve months, in fact our 750th edition was a digital copy during 2020 lockdown and very low key indeed. Time has fl own since those early days and we have continually evolved to remain relevant to Queenstown. The Lakes Weekly started in recognition of the fact that for local business, trying to get the message out and attract customers and staff at a reasonable price was a serious problem. We did not really have a plan on how we were going to change the status quo. All we knew was we wanted to create a place to buy and sell stuff, advertise to potential customers, and fi nd staff. So, with the classic kiwi can do attitude, we decided to just give it a go and dive in blind. None of us at the time had experience in media so we did things differently. Our unique distribution into the hands of every business in the district, this The current team that brings you the LWB Scott Stevens, Ferg Spary, Ana Salvi, editorial on the front page not buried within. Some things worked and some Cat Mercer, Kendale McLeod, Kylee Evans David Gibbs (absent Andy Brinsley and did not but with a bit of luck and some good judgement we have had more Renato Baldichia) wins than losses and the Lakes Weekly continues to grow despite the world- wide dominance of American behemoths Facebook and Google. We have adapted and remain focused on the hyper local. We get fantastic feedback from you, our readers, which helps drive our decision making. The strength of the Lakes Weekly is the strength of our team. Past and pres- ent, they have been incredible, making it happen. There is a lot that goes into producing the edition every week; from the regular contact with clients, engaging our wonderful regular contributors, the graphics team who design ads, lay out the publication for proofi ng, making last minute changes before it goes to print in Alexandra. The window to turn around each issue is tight and ODT Print who have done the printing job for us every week for 12 years now have not missed a beat. Thanks team! One of the exciting things has been seeing The Lakes Weekly develop into WINNER OF The Queenstown Media Group and experiencing the growth of our JobFix brand and the Queenstown App which has given us both satisfaction and Outstanding Bar of the Year 2021 confi dence that we are indeed, delivering for our local community. That’s you, our readers and fellow local businesspeople. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved up to this point, and this sense of pride is highlight- ed more than ever when we see people walking down the street clutching their copy, fl icking the pages, engrossed.

It’s seen as both a recreational trail and also an environmentally- friendly, active way to commute around Queenstown. WHERE The project itself will involve about 28 full time jobs each year over the five-year build. The Queenstown Trails Realignment Project will be undertaken in three CAN I stages. Stage 1 & 2 are 30km of trail extensions connecting Arthurs Point to Arrowtown and Tuckers Beach to Arthur’s Point. It includes a new FIND NEW pedestrian bridge at Tucker Beach. Stage 3 will connect Jacks Point, Lake Hayes Estate and Gibbston Valley, with a new pedestrian bridge at Boyd Road. DINING Queenstown Trails Trust chief executive Mark Williams says: “It’s fantastic news, we’re stoked. “It’s the culmination of three-and-a-half years of hard work and I think OPTIONS? everyone in Queenstown will be over the moon the extension can go ahead. “It’s a great thing for the people who live here and those who visit here. “There’s a huge overlap now between recreation and the active-transport component, where people can get from A to B and visit communities off- road. “A big reason why people live here is access to the great outdoors, being able to get out and enjoy this amazing environment.” The NZCT funding is subject to the outcomes of the partial review of the Otago Conservation Management Strategy to allow for mountain biking on some public conservation land. The project will be supplemented by $4.49 million funding from Waka Kotahi, the New Zealand Transport Agency, as part of the Wakatipu Active Transport programme. The remaining 50% is being sourced locally via local funding bodies, QLDC, philanthropists and Friends of the Trust.
