In his report to the committee, Dan Egerton, of APL Property Queenstown Ltd, has recommended the committee decline Segway on Q's licence to use the Frankton Arm foreshore from the Queenstown Gardens to the bridge, as well as several other public reserves.
The tourism operator is looking to extend its Queenstown route from the One Mile car park to Frankton marina and further to the Kawarau Fall bridge, just short of Kelvin Heights, as well as use several recreational reserves within the route.
These include the foreshore reserves; St Omers Park, Earnslaw Park, and Marine Pde, and the use of Queenstown Gardens.
The company also wishes to extend its tours to 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 -hour options.
Mr Egerton also recommended the committee grant the licence for Segway on Q to use One Mile Park for training purposes and "formed pathways" within the Queenstown Gardens.
His report stated that Segway on Q wished to "utilise walking trails and footpaths within the Queenstown Centre and gardens as well as the foreshore trails along Lake Wakatipu and the Frankton Arm".
Segway is seeking a licence from the council to use the two-wheeled vehicle on footpaths within the gardens, the One Mile car park for "training, and the above reserves".
The two-wheeled invention that can get up to a speed of 20kmh operates during two-hour and one-hour tours around Queenstown's centre - customers often taking unguided ventures around the Queenstown Gardens.
As well as the longer journeys the company wants to extend its maximum of five users at a time to 10 users - two of whom will be guides - and also lengthen the trips to a maximum of three hours.
Representatives of the gardens and reserves have opposed any further use of the vehicles in the respective properties.
