QLDC confirms pedestrian walkway by Lakeside Road now open

Lakeside Rd slip2

Geotechnical engineers from QLDC contractors Opus International have completed an independent assessment of the Marina Terrace landslide on Lakeside Road, Wanaka. They have advised that the site is now sufficiently stable for the pedestrian lake-side walkway beneath the slip on Lakeside Road to be opened.

At this time, there remains no timeline for reopening Lakeside Road to vehicular access. The alternative route is via Lismore Street until further notice.

QLDC would like to acknowledge the patience and measured response from the community and local residents during this event. The developers and their contractors continue to communicate and cooperate with QLDC representatives, who are working closely with them to ensure that Lakeside Road can be opened as soon as it is safe and practicable to do so.
