President Roger Moseby said landowner Peter Gordon had agreed to the January 2 event being held on his land again, much to the organisers' relief.
The rodeo is part of a Christmas circuit of six events starting in Waimate on December 26 and ending in Rangiora on January 3.
Mr Gordon's property is being developed for a rest-home, hospital and retirement village and the rodeo agreed several years ago to find a new home.
However, the proposed new site is on top of a closed landfill at the Albert Town Recreational Reserve.
The Otago Regional Council recently asked the Queenstown Lakes District Council for further information on the landfill before deciding whether to approve the activity or require a resource consent.
ORC compliance officer Simon Beardsmore said yesterday this information should be provided formally to the regional council on Monday and if the regional council was satisfied with the information, a resource consent might not be required.
Mr Moseby said the consent issue had been frustrating and the club could not do much about how the two councils operated.
There had been fears the rodeo would have to shift to the Cromwell racecourse.
"For us now, we need to recognise the fact the Gordons have come to our rescue.
"If it wasn't for them, the club would be hard pressed to try and find somewhere to run the rodeo," Mr Moseby said.
Mr Moseby said it was frustrating the district council had not sought regional council approval earlier.
"It has got nothing to do with the club. It was a council responsibility and an oversight of the council. They didn't do their homework," he said.
Queenstown Lakes District Council solid waste manager Stefan Borowy said yesterday the council was aware it had to obtain regional council approval but could not do that until the Albert Town Recreation Reserve Management plan was signed off last month.
The district council felt it would be unreasonable to require a resource consent for the Albert Town site, as all the club proposed to do was level the site and add 500mm of topsoil.
It did not intend to disturb the site and the work should benefit the site in that it was putting a cap on the landfill, Mr Borowy said.
After discussions with regional council staff over the past three to four weeks, Mr Borowy felt the regional council was comfortable with the district council's approach, which would be formalised in Monday's letter.
