Finance Minister Nicola Willis is putting her stocks in proposals to increase the money collected through the international visitor levy, and says there is no support from any of the coalition parties to revisit a bed tax.
But she was aware of the concerns in Queenstown and would take those thoughts back to Wellington.
She spoke to Queenstown Business Chamber of Commerce members yesterday and was set to have a discussion with Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Glyn Lewers.
Queenstown was in the midst of a housing crisis but there were only a handful of Kainga Ora properties in the region.
The approach the government favoured was to use various community social housing trusts to develop housing. The Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust was included in that.
