The Queenstown Lakes District Council proposes to change the operative Queenstown Lakes District Plan to rezone land currently zoned High Density Residential to Queenstown Town Centre zone. The purpose of the change is to address an identified shortage of land zoned as “Town Centre” and to provide an appropriate planning framework for a convention centre.

Status

Made Operative on 27 July 2016. See item 8 on the 30 June 2016 Full Council Agenda.
