    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. Key Words (wiki’s) 30 Year Infrastructure Strategy, LGA Section 101, Asset Management, Forward Planning, Long Term Plan, Evidence Based Decision Making adventure, exploration, creativity or relaxation. Our District The Queenstown Lakes District is The Queenstown Lakes District has a land synonymous with innovation, adventure and area of 8,705 km² and a total area (including bucket lists.

It is situated 310m (1,017ft) above sea level at latitude 45 degrees south and longitude 169 degrees west.

    WĀHI TŪPUNA 39 39 Wāhi Tūpuna

    PART 5 WĀHI TŪPUNA 39 39 Wāhi Tūpuna 39.1 Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to assist in implementing the strategic direction set out in Chapter 5 Tangata Whenua in relation to providing for the kaitiakitanga of Kāi Tahu1 as Manawhenua in the district. This is through the identification of wāhi tūpuna areas and the management of potential threats to Manawhenua values within those areas. In that manner, Manawhenua values can then be more clearly considered in decision making, so as to ensure activities within wāhi tūpuna areas are appropriately managed. This chapter implements the strategic direction of Chapter 5 by: a. identifying specific wāhi tūpuna areas with an overlay on the District Plan web mapping application; b. setting out objectives and policies relating to subdivision, use and development within this overlay; and c. identifying potential threats that may be incompatible with values for each specific area in Schedule 39.6 to this Plan. As acknowledged in Chapter 5, Kāi Tahu regard the whole of the district as its ancestral land. Intrinsic values such as whakapapa, rangātiratanga, kaitiakitanga, mana, and mauri inform their relationship and association with the landscapes of the district. Chapter 5 provides for consideration of these values and engagement of Manawhenua in the implementation of the District Plan. While wāhi tupuna, including in some urban areas, are components of this broader relationship and set of values, they have values that are addressed specifically by this chapter. 39.2 Objectives and Policies Objective 39.2.1 - Manawhenua values, within identified wāhi tūpuna areas, are recognised and provided for.
