HAT Ltd lodged the application on May 26 as part of its establishment of a commercial recreational bungy-type activity on Middleton-Grant Farm on Queenstown Hill, accessed from Tuckers Beach Rd and next door to Fly By Wire.
In its decision, Lakes Environmental said last week the certificate request complied with the rules of the partially-operative district plan for activities within the rural general zone.
The proposed bungy activity would involve four 700m-long steel support cables suspended across the valley at a maximum height of 202m.
The support cables would be connected to the valley floor by two sets of guide cables.
Two bungy cars, powered by either a diesel generator or by electricity, would ascend and descend the guide cables.
Only one pod at a time would be in the air.
The pod doors opened at a height the jumper chose, the maximum being 185m.
After the jump was completed, the pod would be lowered.
The application stated that a jump master and groups of no more than four bungy jumpers would travel to the site from Queenstown, or other locations, in a mini van.
No private vehicles would be permitted access, as was the current situation.
HAT Ltd is owned by New Zealand Ski Ltd co-directors Andrew Brinsley and Michael Davies.
They had been working on the project for five years and independent commissioners approved the company's resource consent application for the venture after a public hearing last January.
Mr Brinsley said he expected construction would start this winter.
The venture would employ eight to 10 full-time staff and bookings would be taken from an outlet in the resort.
"We anticipate we'll be open for this summer."
