Print Page

March, 2019

Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) has received two further
Expressions of Interest (EOI) to develop Special Housing Areas in the
Ladies Mile area. QLDC is seeking community feedback on these
proposals.

These proposed developments are located adjacent to each other on
the northern side of Ladies Mile and accessed via a proposed future
roundabout at the intersection of Howards Drive and State Highway 6:

" Flints Park Residential and Flints Park Mixed Use Precinct Special
Housing Area: This two-part expression of interest is a predominantly
residential development (247 units) that includes development of a
local centre for the wider Ladies Mile, Lake Hayes Estate and Shotover
Country areas. A reserve area is proposed adjacent to the historic
Glenpanel Homestead building, and a possible school site has been
identified.
" Glenpanel Special Housing Area: This is a predominantly
residential development of approximately 176 residential units and
includes a small portion of the local centre. A central reserve area is
proposed.
The table below summarises the two new EOIs:

Number of residential units 176 151 96
Site size 15.5 hectares 7.1 hectares 7.9 hectares
Contribution to QLCHT - TBC 18 units 15 units 10 units
Developer Glenpanel Developments Ltd Maryhill Ltd Maryhill

While the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013 doesnt
provide for formal consultation on the establishment of special housing
areas, QLDCs elected members wish to understand how the local
community feels about these proposals.

QLDC Chief Executive Mike Theelen noted Council is still considering a
separate SHA proposal, Laurel Hills, which will also be considered at the
18 April Council meeting.
Council paused a decision on Laurel Hills at their last meeting in order
to gain community feedback on all of these Ladies Mile SHA proposals
first. Elected members will then have a holistic view of the three
proposals, and the transport implications, and will consider them
together in April, said Mr Theelen.
In order to do this, there is an online feedback form and EOI details on
the QLDC website: http://www.qldc.govt.nz/your-council/your-views.
Feedback will close at 5.00pm on 11 April 2019 and these proposals will
be considered by the council at its next meeting on 18 April 2019 in
Wnaka.
