The fate of the proposed flyride in Hanmer Springs could soon be known.
A consent was granted to the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa by a Hurunui District Council appointed commissioner last year.
The resource consent application was to install and operate a gravity-based recreation activity at Conical Hill Reserve.
But it was appealed to the Environment Court, with a hearing held in February.
The hearing was subsequently adjourned, but was due to resume on Monday, November 6.
It is the latest adrenalin venture for the Canterbury tourist town. Two new $3.2 million water slides opened in October at Hanmer Springs pools.
Speaking about the flyride, Hurunui District Council chief executive Hamish Dobbie said he was looking forward to a court decision to "bring some certainty" to the community.
During the consent process earlier this year, submitters opposed to the venture said it would have a visual impact on the recreation character, biodiversity and horse trails of the area.
Concerns were also raised about parking, traffic congestion, noise, along with the risk of fire, and devaluation of properties.
Supporters believed the venture would bring value and benefits to the Hanmer Springs community and the wider district, and promote the village as a fun, healthy and interactive place to visit.

Proposed emergency management reform does not go far enough, says Environment Canterbury (ECan).
In a submission on the Government’s Emergency Management Bill, chairperson Peter Scott said the legislation doesn't adequately address funding, disaster prevention or climate change mitigation.
"Environment Canterbury would like to see a more ambitious approach to managing climate change exacerbated hazards and risks in guiding legislation, across the 4Rs (risk, readiness, response and recovery) of emergency management.
"We are now in a time of increasing frequency, severity and consequence of emergency events."
The bill was intended to replace the 20-year-old Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002.
When the legislation was introduced to Parliament in June this year, Emergency Management Minister Kieran McAnulty said the legislation was not intended to be "transformational" or propose major changes.
But Scott said the feedback during the targeted engagement last year had called for "transformational change".
"Recent weather events cause us to reiterate that point."
Environment Canterbury has been calling for central Government investment to future-proof Canterbury’s rivers against more frequent and severe climate events.
Scott said he was pleased the legislation saw rivers as "critical infrastructure", but it did not address funding.
"It is difficult to plan for a sustainable future and to provide the best resilience from funding from a confined rating base as at present."
He supported giving iwi a greater role in emergency management, and said there needed to be stronger support for communities likely to be disproportionately impacted by emergency events.
Key changes in the proposed legislation included: clarifying roles at national, regional, and local levels, requiring Civil Defence Emergency Management Group plans to identify disproportionately impacted communities and recognising the role of Māori.

In recommending against the project from developers the Carter Group, the independent commissioners also criticised Waimakariri District Council’s failure to make more provision for new housing growth.
Councillors will consider the recommendation and decide whether to allow the development at a meeting on Tuesday. The council was among the groups and individuals who made submissions opposing the project.
