In more detail...

So far, approximately 2291 residential sections/units have been approved via SHAs.

Seven of the 11 SHAs have been consented, three are under construction and two have been fully delivered (Bridesdale and Shotover Country).  These SHAs will deliver a potential yield of approximately 2291 residential units and aged bed care facilities.

For more detail on the Resource Consents already approved, please search eDocs.

These have resulted in significant benefits to the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust by way of financial contributions, land and land/housing packages.

All of the above SHAs have been disestablished with the exception of the Business Mixed Use Zone (Gorge Road SHA).  On 14 August 2017, the Minister of Building and Construction established the Business Mixed Use Zone (Gorge Road) as an SHA.  Read the Order In Council here 

It is noted that applications for variations to consent conditions for consent applications lodged before the disestablishment of an SHA can still be made under the HASHAA even after the SHA has been disestablished.
