It sucks, but we can do this Last Tuesday afternoon was a day like most others. Tuesday is LWB delivery day across the region and we were popping into businesses to give them their personal copy. Town was quite busy when the ski fi elds emptied and then at around 3pm I got a text from one of our journalists that a positive case had popped up in the community. It didn’t even occur to me at the time that I would need to grab fi les from the offi ce before I left for the day because I wasn’t going to be back on Wednesday. The 6pm full lockdown announcement was quite a surprise. For South Island business leaders, it sucks but we get it and if I had thought it through, I would have logically concluded that once one Delta case got in, everyone was going into isolation until the health offi cials had a grasp on how far and how quickly it has spread. There is no doubt the current lockdown will thump local business and our GDP really hard! Many events, shows, gigs including most of Winter Pride are now all cancelled or rescheduled and with Auckland staying in lockdown It seems like a life time ago, but just over a week ago Jive and Thrive held their for a while yet, that wonderful stream of visitors’ dollars will also dry up. charity fundraising event at the Memorial Hall. It was a huge success with all involved having a wonderful time. Image Brian Ellis. Another insight was the number of visitors who were in town when the lockdown was announced. Shame everyone jumped on a plane and headed north to get home. Personally, I would have thought it was better to do lockdown here. We have been here before and survived and as painful as it is to say we will do it again. For a while it’s going to be hard but we are resilient and a very supportive bunch. It sucks and its hard but with the vaccine rollout ramping up to respectable levels now, there is a pathway out of this and one that’s sustainable this time. We will survive the near term and we know what to do. Last year the town pulled together, whether that was neighbours looking out for each other or locals supporting local business and the other ways around, that spirit is required again. This time support services will be sorely needed and will be needing our help. I don’t know, but suspect many people have less buffer this time around. History shows us that the economy will bounce back quickly once the country reopens and confi dence in travel returns and I think it likely that activity will be back at pre-lockdown levels by the end of the year. Meanwhile hopefully from Saturday, when we are released from level 4, let’s enjoy our relative freedom and count our blessings. I for one am looking forward to enjoying having our town, just for ourselves again. I’ll enjoy it more this time. David Gibbs General Manager | Queenstown Media Group

LAKES WEEKLY BULLETIN Page 4 Queenstown Airport’s profits obliterated by Covid by Staff Reporter QAC also undertook an organisational restructure, which Young-Cooper acknowledged was a “difficult time for our people”. QAC halted most of its capital expenditure programme and significantly reduced its operating expenditure as a key component of the company’s stabilisation plan. Total operating expenditure decreased by 30% to $10.7 million from $15.3 million last year. The key capital project during the year was a terminal upgrade. Design work was completed and construction began in the terminal building in April, involving a range of improvements to the departures processing area which will ultimately enhance the passenger screening and airport security processes. It will also improve the resilience and seismic performance of the terminal. Chief Executive Colin Keel resigned after five years’ service, ending his tenure on 30 June 2021. “The Board has appointed Glen Sowry as QAC’s next CEO. Glen will commence in the role in September 2021.

Image: supplied Queenstown Airport’s profit dropped 91% to $1.6m in the last financial year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Annual results published last week for the year ending 30 June, 2021, show the massive dip from $18 million the previous financial year. That means there has been no annual dividend to shareholders Queenstown Lakes District Council (75.01%) and Auckland Airport (24.99%). Queenstown Airport Corporation board chair, Adrienne Young-Cooper said the priority has been to stabilise the business in the “complex and uncertain” operating environment. Young-Cooper said the popping of the trans-Tasman bubble and the emergence of the Delta variant show “prudent and very cautious operational and capital planning, and the ability to make quick decisions continue to be required”. In FY21 there was a sharp decline in passenger movements (arrivals and departures) at Queenstown Airport compared to FY20, which led to aeronautical and commercial revenue decreasing by 41% and 40%, One international arrival on day one of the trans-Tasman bubble in April, after 387 respectively. days without scheduled international flights Overall, QAC’s revenue was down 40% to $27.8 million from $46.7 million in FY20.

Reported Net Profit After Tax was down 91% to $1.6 million from $18.0 million last year.

The dye is non-toxic. “Given it was a signiﬁcant quantity released into Horne Creek we can only assume it was a deliberate prank that has unfortunately caused a lot of people unnecessary concern and distress at the thought of someone endangering our waterways and wildlife,” a council statement reads. “It’s certainly something Council takes very seriously and we’re still keen to hear from anyone who may have information about who released it.” Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Wakatipu Active Travel Network Business Case laid out the plan for active Queenstown charitable trust The Lightfoot Initiative estimates the Jim’s travel route on the Quail Rise side of SH6.

Hardware Lane at the top of the hill, with only a tiny island refuge halfway across between the free flowing 80kmh traffic. “The route itself is logical, because you don’t lose elevation once you’ve crossed the old Shotover bridge, and then have to be really fit to get back up,” Robinson says. “But it didn’t include any safe crossing over SH6. That’s where the whole network falls down, because people need to be able to get over SH6 safely.” The bridge idea is supported by Wakatipu High School, local businesses and the Queenstown Trails Trust, which is currently working on its own trail linking the nearby Old Lower Shotover Bridge to Arthurs Point and Arrowtown. Robinson says for about $1m, funded by Waka Kotahi rather than council, contractors could build a functional bridge, “whereas $2 million is going to get us something that is an iconic entrance to Queenstown”. It would likely take about a year work through the funding process, then another year to build. “It would be an amazing addition. You can’t argue with the fact it’s going to make a massive difference to connect these communities - that’s at the Architect’s impression of a bridge from Jim’s Way over SH6.
