Developers have earmarked Hawea Flat as the latest Wanaka
satellite community for residential expansion.
Camphill Ltd, a company with five directors - Stephen Dickey,
Peter Joyce, Robin Patterson, John Ruddenklau, of Wanaka, and
Stephen Winter, of Queenstown - are behind a proposed 31-lot
subdivision.
The company has applied for resource consent to develop a
22ha farmland site opposite the Hawea Flat Primary School on
Camphill Rd.
Proposed lot sizes range between 2.52ha and 0.4ha for the
site.
The proposed subdivision is on land north of the primary
school, a childcare centre, and the Hawea Flat community hall
on the northern side of Camphill Rd.
The site, which is zoned rural lifestyle under the Queenstown
Lakes district plan, has three existing resource consents for
nine large properties.
The developers propose water supply to the lots will be
provided by way of drilled bores.
Several existing properties in the area with potable bores
drilled to about 12 metres deep ran dry during the summer.
This was after a period of very low rainfall throughout the
winter and spring of 2008.
The developers have offered, as part of their consent
application, that existing properties in the arid area can
connect to the proposed subdivision's communal water supply.
