Queenstown on fast-tracked building boom to create rooms for visitors and workers
Read reporter Debbie Jamieson's full story
Two large-scale Queenstown accommodation developments have been accepted for fast-tracking as developers eye tourism opportunities.
One is a six-storey hotel with up to 185 rooms, on the Man St car park in central Queenstown.
The other is a proposal to provide 400 to 600 residential units for temporary worker accommodation in Frankton.
Plans for both are yet to be lodged with the Environment Protection Authority and considered by an expert consenting panel.
The proposals show an ongoing enthusiasm by Queenstown developers to use the fast-track consenting process established during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The legislation blocked the public from the resource consent process in order to fast track projects that created jobs and stimulated the economy.
