When I Dip We GUIDEGIG LAKES WEEKLY PAGE 15 21st Jul - 27th BULLETIN FIRST ON THE STREET No 760 WWW.LWB.CO.NZ • BUY • ACCOMMODATION • SELL • INFORMATION • JOBS • [email protected] Boom Scandal Gone I suppose 3 different MP’s in as many terms of government is par for the course in some electorates. Those contestable seats that flip and flop from Labour to National and back again. But here in the Clutha Southland, now Southland electorate we have been wrapped in the blue blanket of the National Party forever. Like it or not. I was excited when National chose a young progressive MP in Todd Barclay after Bill English went to the list. Not that I particularly care for National over Labour but because he was not a farmer. Maybe would give a hoot about the Wakatipu a tad more than Bill did, and that hope came to pass as Todd moved into the neighbourhood in Arrowtown. He spent time with the local business community and learnt what help we needed from central government. Then BOOM. Scandal and gone. Then along came Hamish Walker. Another likeable young bloke. Maybe a little more country than I would like but without a doubt a hard worker. He went into bat for all sorts of social, community and business-related concerns this huge and diverse electorate had. He was available at his Frankton office, answered calls and things were looking up. Life is about building relationships and with Hamish, hopes were high that the Wakatipu #getbumped at the Queenstown Ice Arena in our all new Ice would have a long-term advocate. Then BOOM. Scandal and gone. Bumper Cars. Bump & Skate combos available at great prices So now what? Back to square one. Despite the electoral boundary changes Southland is still Southland surprise surprise. Dominated by the farming industry to our South. In my humble opinion the boundaries are still wrong. The Queenstown Lakes District should be in one electorate. Despite our differences with Wanaka, we have more in common with that lot than the farmers to the South. Wanaka is in the Waitaki electorate. Unfortunately, another National safe seat. I say unfortunately not because of any great love for Labour, Green, Act or NZ First but because a truly contestable seat brings with it the benefit of attention from political suitors. But let’s not dwell on the perfect fit as far as electoral boundaries, and start thinking about what we need from our next member of parliament. No farmers please. We get how important the primary industry is to New Zealand but the last viable farm in the Wakatipu was sold into lifestyle blocks and residential subdivisions years ago. Our most pressing need is someone as keen to protect the 96% of outstanding natural landscape left when i dip in the Wakatipu and the waterways that it drains into as we are. We need someone who is prepared to sit in their Frankton office with an open- door policy to every resident of the Wakatipu with a legitimate need for parliamentary help. That is our migrants with immigration trouble, our businesses with legislation trouble, our council with infrastructure trouble, families with schooling and education trouble, our whole community with health care trouble. It is a tough job as Todd and Hamish will testify to. But someone needs to do it and someone good.

    2018 update of the Otago Southland Regional Land Transport Plans 2015-2021 Descriptions of prioritised activities and projects for 2018-21 The committees have prioritised the larger projects into two priority bands, taking into account the benefits that each project would help realise, whether it forms part of an integrated programme of works for a particular area, and whether it is of inter-regional significance. Projects for which insufficient information is available to judge how the results will align with RLTP strategy are included in the lower priority band; this applies to a suite of NZTA safety projects for Otago that are in the 2018 Transport Agency Investment Plan. Integrated programmes of work are kept within a single prioritisation category, since all projects within such a programme need to be implemented in order to realise the anticipated benefits.

    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.

  • Queenstown Lakes District Plan Review, Chapter 26: Historic Heritage
    DISTRICT PLAN REVIEW CHAPTER 26: HISTORIC HERITAGE SUBMISSION TO THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL 23 OCTOBER 2015 1. BACKGROUND TO IPENZ The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) is the lead national professional body representing the engineering profession in New Zealand. It has approximately 16,000 Members, and includes a cross-section of engineering students, practising engineers, and senior Members in positions of responsibility in business. IPENZ is non-aligned and seeks to contribute to the community in matters of national interest giving a learned view on important issues, independent of any commercial interest. As the lead engineering organisation in New Zealand, IPENZ has responsibility for advocating for the protection and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. IPENZ manages a Heritage Register and a Heritage Record for engineering items throughout New Zealand. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Register has criteria and thresholds similar to Category 1 historic places on Heritage New Zealand’s New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero. Items on our Register have been assessed as being engineering achievements of outstanding or special heritage significance. IPENZ is still populating the Register. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Record includes histories of industrial and engineering items around New Zealand, and is also subject to ongoing improvements and additions. 2. GENERAL COMMENTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The scheduling of heritage places in the District Plans of local authorities is an important mechanism that IPENZ supports because of our objective of promoting the protection, preservation and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. The Queenstown Lakes District has a very rich heritage and in particular has a wealth of industrial and engineering heritages sites because of the area’s early mining, agricultural and pastoral history and its challenging topography.

  • Greetings, Dear Dr Clark, Please Find Attached the Petition Organised to Support a New Local H
    Crux Recipient: Dr David Clark Letter: Greetings, Dear Dr Clark, Please find attached the petition organised to support a new local hospital for the Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago districts. Not only has the petition been signed by over 5,000 people, but their comments document the sometimes extreme hardship and risk to life that is caused by the lack of an up to date, properly resourced hospital in our area. Even the commissioners of the Southern DHB have described the current hospital as "woefully inadequate." Not only is the lack of decent medical facilities putting our rapidly growing population at risk, but also risks the welfare of the three million tourists who visit each year. We respectfully ask that you facilitate the urgent provision of a new hospital than can meet the extensive and increasing health needs of our region. Comments Name Location Date Comment Marnie Reid queenstown, 2018-07-09 I was at our dear wee hospital the other day... it still has the New Zealand same wallpaper from when my baby was born... 20 years ago!...and the same xray machine! jason chisholm Queenstown, 2018-07-09 The existing services are an embarrassment to our town. New Zealand Kate Maclean Queenstown, 2018-07-09 Well overdue New Zealand Ashley Murphy Queenstown, 2018-07-10 It will only take a major incident like the bus crash near the New Zealand Edith Cavell bridge in the past to highlight how incapable it really is.

    The Queenstown Courier WINTER 2012 ISSUE No. 87 THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE QUEENSTOWN & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY INC CONTENTS P.2 Introducing Edith Cavell: A Bridge and Bravery by Danny Knudson P.3 Society News P.4 Brian Bayley, Honorary Life Member by Malcolm Boote P.5 Chairman Bill Dolan Departs by Brian Bayley P.6 Stories behind the 2012 Calendar Photographs: Cover: Cobb & Co Coaches by Marion Borrell July: The Macetown Road by Ben Saunders March: Buckingham Street, Arrowtown in 1905 by Malcolm Boote January 2013: The New Orleans Hotel, Arrowtown in 1901 by Marion Borrell This pamphlet accompanies the separately printed book shown on the cover: Edith Cavell: A Bridge and Bravery by committee member, Danny Knudson. The history of the Wakatipu has long held Danny Knudson‟s interests and he has recently investigated the bridge across the Shotover at Arthurs Point. The more information he uncovered, the more he became hooked on the story. The Edith Cavell Bridge is the fourth crossing at this site and it has an interesting history. It was the first in the South Island designed with a distinctive parabolic arch, it was built on top of an earlier bridge, and it was named in honour of a British nurse who never set foot in New Zealand. Locals may know that Edith Cavell was executed by an enemy firing squad for treason in World War I, but the full extent of her bravery deserves to be more widely appreciated. Details of her fortitude in rescuing allied soldiers and helping them escape from occupied Belgium, and her courage when facing certain death, enhanced British resolve at a time when inspiration was most needed.

  • 2020 Renters Survey Questions
    The Renters Survey 2020 is being conducted by the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust. This survey is conducted every three years, so that we can examine the challenges faced by those who are renting in our community, for decent secure and affordable housing in the Queenstown Lakes District (which is Queenstown and Wanaka). This year, the Renters Survey will also provide valuable information about the impact COVID-19 lockdown has had on our renting community. Your participation will provide valuable information that helps us to make decisions about affordable housing that supports the needs of our community. THIS SURVEY IS COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL.
