No further feedback has been received on the Cardrona Village character guidelines despite the deadline for submissions being extended by two weeks, Queenstown Lakes District Council senior policy analyst Ralph Henderson said.
The guidelines were produced to encourage appropriate development in Cardrona that would meet growth needs, encourage urban environments of a high quality and preserve the district's cultural heritage. The draft document was adopted by the council strategy committee in October.
Mr Henderson said he would report back to the strategy committee that just five submissions had been received, along with any possible changes to the guidelines that arose from the feedback, before they were formally adopted for use.
"I was initially surprised that we didn't receive much feedback, as the community has been very responsive to things they feel do not reflect Cardrona," Mr Henderson said.
"However, I think this reflects a reasonable degree of comfort with what is proposed in the guidelines."
