  • 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.

  • 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.
