  • Where Are the Audiences?
    WHERE ARE THE AUDIENCES? Full Report Introduction • New Zealand On Air (NZ On Air) supports and funds audio and visual public media content for New Zealand audiences. It does so through the platform neutral NZ Media Fund which has four streams; scripted, factual, music, and platforms. • Given the platform neutrality of this fund and the need to efficiently and effectively reach both mass and targeted audiences, it is essential NZ On Air have an accurate understanding of the current and evolving behaviour of NZ audiences. • To this end NZ On Air conduct the research study Where Are The Audiences? every two years. The 2014 benchmark study established a point in time view of audience behaviour. The 2016 study identified how audience behaviour had shifted over time. • This document presents the findings of the 2018 study and documents how far the trends revealed in 2016 have moved and identify any new trends evident in NZ audience behaviour. • Since the 2016 study the media environment has continued to evolve. Key changes include: − Ongoing PUTs declines − Anecdotally at least, falling SKY TV subscription and growth of NZ based SVOD services − New TV channels (eg. Bravo, HGTV, Viceland, Jones! Too) and the closure of others (eg. FOUR, TVNZ Kidzone, The Zone) • The 2018 Where Are The Audiences? study aims to hold a mirror up to New Zealand and its people and: − Inform NZ On Air’s content and platform strategy as well as specific content proposals − Continue to position NZ On Air as a thought and knowledge leader with stakeholders including Government, broadcasters and platform owners, content producers, and journalists.

  • 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.

  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables
    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000. The biggest single day in 2007 saw around 4000 people, but this year we had 7777 people in one day. With our old infrastructure we simply couldn’t have coped – but the completely rebuilt base building, and completion of the snowmaking system and our investments in lift and pass technology have paid huge dividends in protecting the experience.
