The golf resort's resource consent - granted by the Queenstown Lakes District Council in May 2008 - was appealed to the Environment Court by the Upper Clutha Tracks Trust, the Upper Clutha Environmental Society and Wanaka holiday home owner Dennis Thorn.
An interim decision by the Environment Court last December directed the company to submit more evidence of mitigation and environmental compensation at the development's proposed site and to address some of the appellants' concerns.
Both the Upper Clutha Environmental Society and Mr Thorn then responded with further evidence, but nothing additional was provided by the Queenstown Lakes District Council or the Upper Clutha Tracks Trust.
Anderson Lloyd consultant Warwick Goldsmith, speaking on behalf of Parkins Bay Preserve, confirmed rebuttal evidence was provided by the company to all parties on September 30, just within the deadline.
The Environment Court would now set a hearing date, for which a pre-Christmas timeframe had been suggested, Mr Goldsmith said.
Parkins Bay Preserve , a partnership of Glendhu Station landowners Bob and Pam McRae and Queenstown-based golf course designer and developer John Darby, wants to build a $75-million 18-hole championship golf course, a lakeside clubhouse, luxury lodge and accommodation units, and 42 residential homes on land at Parkins Bay.
