  • Lake Wakatipu Flood Hazard | QUEENSTOWN CBD the Queenstown CBD Area Has a History of Flooding
    Queenstown CBD in flood in 2005 (picture supplied by Otago Daily Times) Lake Wakatipu flood hazard | QUEENSTOWN CBD The Queenstown CBD area has a history of flooding. This is a natural process resulting from extended periods of heavy rain and snowmelt. North-westerly fronts moving over the southern part of the South Island can cause heavy rainfall in the headwaters of Lake Wakatipu, especially if they ‘stall’ and hover over the Southern Alps for days at a time. A series of such fronts is generally needed before lake levels rise enough to cause flooding. Several large rivers flow into the lake while only one (the Kawarau River) flows out. Flooding can occur when more water flows into the lake than can flow out, and when there is insufficient time for levels to drop between heavy rainfall events. The Otago Regional Council (ORC) works with the Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) to provide flood warning and information services. These are intended to help people prepare for, and respond to a flood. Breaking waves and debris can cause additional damage within low-lying parts of Queenstown if strong onshore winds coincide with high lake levels. The photo at left shows booms ORC placed across Queenstown Bay during the 1999 flood to help prevent debris entering the CBD. Residents should be aware of strong winds when the lake is high. Queenstown flood hazard October 2014 Characteristics of flood events How quickly do floods occur? Every flood is different, and their severity will depend on the duration, extent, and intensity of rainfall across the entire catchment.

  • Tomasi SHA, Arthurs Point Transport Assessment
    19 October 2017 Bullendale Developments Limited C/- Momentum Projects By email Attention: Shane Fairmaid Dear Shane, Tomasi SHA, Arthurs Point Transport Assessment The purpose of this letter is to provide a high level transport assessment for a proposed Tomasi Special Housing Area (SHA) to be created at Arthurs Point, Queenstown. The assessment will consider if there is additional capacity within the existing transport infrastructure to accommodate the proposed development. 1 Background The proposed SHA, Tomasi, is an extension of Bullendale at 157 Arthurs Point Road. The Tomasi development is to be located within Lot 2 DP12913 and will be accessed through the Bullendale Subdivision which is a SHA created under consent approval SH160143. Bullendale is not fully constructed although design drawings have been approved for the access from Arthurs Point Road. This high level transport assessment utilises the detailed design for Bullendale as well as traffic modelling and analysis undertaken during the consent stage. 2 Existing Transport Network For the purposes of this assessment it is assumed that the existing transport network will include infrastructure which has been consented and is being constructed within the Bullendale subdivision, refer SH160143. Bullendale will establish a new residential access road, Bullendale Drive, which will be formed as a Suburban Local Road1. This road will have a 5.5m movement lane with separate footpaths and indented on-street parking. This road type can serve up to 200 residential dwellings. Bullendale Drive is consented to serve 88 residential dwellings within at Bullendale. Bullendale Drive is to be accessed from Arthurs Point Road. This intersection has been consented and the detailed design has engineering approval.

  • 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.
