The call was made soon after the receiverships of two Melview companies behind the construction of the luxury hotel complex two weeks ago.
While about 20 people contacted Mr Geddes - some by email or letters, others by hailing him in the supermarket - he said there was still no clear mandate for or against the project or for the performing arts centre.
"I have had a mixed reaction . . . probably about half-and-half," he said.
He was most surprised by the submission on Friday by the Queenstown Chamber of Commerce which told councillors it had put the suggestion to its members and come back with the answer that council should not take "more of a role in the construction industry".
He said the council would continue to try to keep key projects in the next 10-year plan "within affordability" so QLDC was not unduly adding to the pressures faced by Queenstown during the economic downturn.
"We need to make sure we are not contributing to that," Mr Geddes said.
He said he would "really like" to be able to consider the request of the 11-year-old, but it was "something a bit larger" than the council building.
