AJ Hackett Bungy's plan to install a three-lane "zip ride" near its famous Kawarau River Bungy site will be outlined to commissioners on Monday.
The hearing will be held to determine whether the proposal will have a publicly-notified consent process.
AJ Hackett Bungy wants to provide an "alternative activity" for the 90% of about 350,000 people who visit the site each year but do not go bungy-jumping.
Running along the side of the Kawarau Gorge between the existing launch station building and the State Highway 6 bridge, the three parallel lanes could take up to six people at a time.
Running 140m to a tower construction on the side of the gorge, riders would rotate 180deg and return back to the launch station - each ride taking no longer than three minutes.
The proposal is part of what departed chief executive Michelle Trapski called the company's plans for more "passive" adventures, and would be aimed at groups, families and the emerging Asian market.
In a report prepared by Lakes Environmental planner Annemarie Robertson, the applicant had offered to remove a commercial bungy trampoline activity on the site to reduce visual impact, if consent for the zip ride is granted.
The company had been operating from the Kawarau Gorge site since pioneers AJ Hackett and Henry van Asch started the first commercial bungy there in 1988.
All those deemed to be affected by the proposal have provided their written approval.
