Submissions closed on Plan Change 50 last week, with a total of 54 received.
Of those, 16 were in opposition, 10 in part opposition, five in support and 15 in part support.
Another eight submitters were either neutral or did not indicate support or opposition.
David Odell, of the United States, was opposed because it would compound traffic and parking problems and he believed the council was ''off track''.
Mr Odell said he also objected to the council's Lakeview plan change earlier this year, but it had now added ''parcels to that plan''.
''It will significantly change the 'character' of the town ... Nothing destroys the natural beauty of the environment faster than pouring concrete and 'going up'.''
If the council had an option to build in Gorge Rd it should be considered because the ''obsession'' of CBD development was ''ridiculous''.
He submitted the Lakeview site should be excluded from high-density development plans, cabin leases should be extended and renovation promoted.
''This is about displacing people, including families, elderly and disabled, fledgling business owners, that live and work in town.''
In support of the plan change was Skyline Enterprises Ltd which had a ''clear interest'' in promoting central Queenstown as the prime commercial hub of the Queenstown Lakes district.
Its submission said the company agreed the ''over supply of commercially-zoned land at Frankton'', combined with the existing town centre being at, or near capacity in terms of building potential, put the CBD's future at some risk.
The area as a whole would continue to grow and it was appropriate for the council to explore a suitable expansion of the existing CBD.
''Providing further commercially zoned land with a mixed-use element will act as a catalyst for retaining businesses in central Queenstown as opposed to relocation to Frankton.''
The company believed the development of a convention centre at Lakeview would strengthen the commercial, social and civic role of the urban setting and the rezoning could be done in a ''controlled and appropriate manner'' which would protect and enhance the existing CBD.
The Dairy Guesthouse opposed PC 50 ''in its entirety'' unless the council did a more rigorous assessment of the planning provisions which would apply to the proposed Isle St sub-zone.
The submission, prepared by lawyer Graeme Todd, said the sub-zone was not given the same focus or detail of assessment as the Lakeview sub-zone, but was ''vitally important'' to the extension.
Without it, the Lakeview sub-zone would be ''an isolated piece of commercial zoning'' separate from Queenstown, and could not be justified or warranted as forming any part of the Queenstown Town Centre Zone.
While The Dairy believed a mixed-use allowance for activities was the correct approach, the proposed building development controls were ''inappropriate'' and would create ''significant tension''.
It proposed both the building height limit and building setbacks be reassessed.
Once all further submissions have been received a hearings panel will be appointed to hear the submissions before a decision is issued.
