JOBS INSIDE31 LAKES WEEKLY 28th Jul - 3rd Aug 28th Jul - 3rd BULLETIN FIRST ON THE STREET No 761 WWW.LWB.CO.NZ • BUY • ACCOMMODATION • SELL • INFORMATION • JOBS • [email protected] Tarras Internacional Airport Tarras International Airport. Has a nice ring to it, as long as you’re not from Tarras. On the face of it the idea sounds preposterous. But then think again and factor in the self-centred arrogance of people from Queenstown and Wanaka. We think we can stop growth into our district. Or at least some of us do. The fact is we can control the rate of growth at best. Covid has proven to be a pretty good controller of tourism growth, but before that and once the world recovers, our control mechanism is a 75.1% stake in Queenstown Airport Corporation. If the community wish to limit flights into Queenstown, and in Wanaka’s case stop commercial flights altogether, then that is what the Councillors voted onto QLDC will do. Basic politics- looking after the people who voted you in. But such a move has no effect on the demand. They will still come. By road. By a road that last time I drove it was a most pitiful excuse for a state highway. The Kawarau Gorge is literally hanging on to a crumbling cliff face and will disappear into the river with just the smallest act of nature. But they will find a way. They always do. And do you think the Christchurch City Council will give a hoot how many tourists they pump into Queenstown and Wanaka once their Tarras airport is operational in 20-30-40-50 years’ time? Tied winners of the Battle of the Burgers competition, Reuben Goss So, we are doomed to be what we have always been. The best little alpine from Henrietta’s Wanaka and Rachel Newton from Ballarat Queenstown tourism hub the Southern Hemisphere has ever seen. Which brings me to the really preposterous part of this Tarras airport debate, scuttling Queenstown Airport and selling it off for housing. Do the advocates for such lunacy have rocks in their heads, or do they simply not care for anything beyond their own peace and tranquillity. Don’t you worry about the rest of us who actually quite like what that airport does for our community. The connectivity to friends, family, business, and the world. Hey, here’s an idea. Why don’t we enact a communist style compulsory relocation to Tarras for any person who signs a petition to shut down and sell for housing Queenstown Airport. I read in the ODT there is one staunch old farmer in Tarras who hasn’t sold to the Christchurch Airport mob yet. We could use his land and market it as Central Otago’s hotbed for folks who want to live in a fairyland surrounded by nothing more than their own self-importance. No noise other than Shrek the sheep baa-ing. No pesky tourists except for those looking for Shrek the sheep baa-ing. Back in the real world, Queenstown Airport is fantastic. I am picking my folks up from there on Wednesday. It’s easy, it’s the lifeblood for any working person in the Wakatipu directly or indirectly. We shouldn’t care too much about the masses coming via the Kawarau Gorge. Supply and demand have a way of sorting things out. But we should not be forced to join them on an hour and half trip to Tarras every time we want to travel, for the sake of a peaceful cup of tea and afternoon nap in Kelvin Heights.

Ara tawhito (trails), ran through these catchments, bringing whānau into the southern lakes and rivers on their seasonal pursuit of resources. Today the rivers are used for recreation, and are valued for their landscape qualities and the species residing in them.

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.

  • Queenstown Lakes District Plan Review, Chapter 26: Historic Heritage

    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.
