However, Kai Tahu ki Otago, which opposed the development on cultural grounds at the hearing last February, said it had not changed its pondering stance, as reported in Wednesday's Queenstown Times.
"We have received the decision on the Frankton marina and are considering that decision," resource management planner Tim Vial, of runanga consultancy KTKO Ltd, said yesterday.
"We have no other comment at this stage."
Queenstown Marina Developments Ltd (QMDL) plans to establish a 240-berth marina, four buildings, underground car park and public open space on the Frankton Marina Reserve.
The marina would be public, but owned and managed by Christchurch-based QMDL, which would lease or sell an as yet undetermined number of berths.
Warrington, Platts, Ward and Perry family members were among the 32 individuals in the first opposing party.
They submitted QMDL did not provide enough information that the proposed marina was capable of withstanding the lake, current and wind conditions on Frankton Arm.
The developer could not satisfy the community of its maintenance or stability or potential to exacerbate erosion or sedimentation hazards, they said.
The appellants said QMDL had not satisfied the community that the development would not have adverse effects on lake bed and bank stability, water quality and amenity values.
They said the application fell short of Resource Management Act requirements by failing to maintain or enhance amenity values or the quality of environment.
Queenstown solicitor Michael Parker advised the Environment Court, in Christchurch, last Monday that an additional 14 individuals had withdrawn as appellants because their interests would be carried forward in the appeal by friends or relatives staying with the proceedings.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council and the Otago Regional Council were the named respondents.
Mr Parker requested mediation from the Environment Court yesterday.
The second opposing party is Queenstown resident James Cassells, on behalf of the Historical Boatshed Society.
Solicitor Russell Ibbotson submitted that QMDL's proposed short-stay hardstand area between the boat shed and proposed car and trailer parks conflicted with and failed to protect the boat shed, slipway ticket office and restoration project.
The third appealing party is Wensley Developments The Marina Ltd, of Invercargill, which cited adverse effects on the environment and adjoining residential sites, including its own.
Christchurch solicitors Cindy Robinson and Adam Copland, on behalf of co-directors Julie Jack, Raymond Polson, Greg Wensley and Ross Wensley, submitted the proposed marina was too big for the site.
The difference in ground level meant Wensley development residents would suffer adverse light, glare, views and noise from marina users parking their cars, Wensley claimed.
Marina project manager and quantity surveyor Ian Harrison said he and QMDL co-director Buzz March met the Warrington appellants last week and had given them proposals to consider.
The marina developers would meet boatshed society representatives again today and provide additional land survey information.
"We want to get the resource consent clear as quickly as possible through discussion and agreement so we can proceed," Mr Harrison said.
"Then we will enter into discussions with the council on the leases of the lake and reserve land, and commercial leases for the four buildings."
