Z Energy has applied to the Queenstown Lakes District Council to establish a service station off State Highway 6 on land owned by The Station at Waitiri Ltd, next to the Shotover Garden Centre.
Meanwhile, Shotover Park Ltd (SPL) has applied for subdivision consent to create 45 lots - 36 of them development lots - at its site near Glenda Dr.
The Z Energy application seeks consent to establish and operate the service station, an associated ''picnic area'' and ancillary services including convenience/retail and hazardous substances storage.
It also seeks to breach the setback and transport standards, erect signs and undertake associated earthworks and landscaping at the site.
Z Energy spokeswoman Christine Langdon said the service station had been designed as a relaxing place for people to stop, with sheltered outdoor seating areas and parking.
The proposal also re-quired consent from the Otago Re-gional Council, but that would not be lodged until the necessary consents had been obtained from the QLDC.
The service station would comprise a shop of about 230sq m, an eight-lane forecourt with four pump islands and an LPG ''swap and go'' facility.
It would also include extension and modification of the existing vehicle crossing, car parking, cycle parking and caravan waste dump point.
The SPL application seeks to subdivide 6.6459ha of its 11.7562ha site to create 36 development lots, ranging from 625sq m to 1.017ha, comprising 19 rural general lots, six industrial/retail and 11 industrial.
It also proposes to create four access lots; one residual lot; a balance lot; one lot to be amalgamated with others; and three local-purpose reserves to vest with the Queenstown Lakes District Council.
There were already three existing lots, totalling 5.1103ha, which included Pak'n Save and Mitre 10 Mega.
The site, between the existing Glenda Dr industrial estate and Queenstown Central land, was subject to the protracted plan change 19 - Frankton Flats.
While the Environment Court was yet to issue a final decision, the structure plan and objectives and policies had been confirmed for each of the activity areas.
The application said the location of the proposed new lots would assist with centralising industrial and business development in Queenstown and would ensure the subdivision was compatible with neighbouring developments.
Roads and pedestrian and cycle links along with infrastructure servicing were also proposed.
• SPL's application said three of the roads, including the eastern arterial route, would be constructed by the council and the New Zealand Transport Agency, with one road and a portion of the eastern arterial route to be constructed by Shotover Park.
Construction of those was expected to begin in November and would likely be completed by May next year, the application said.
