Eighty affected parties have been served with a limited notification notice for the Sanderson Group's proposed $250million retirement village on Ladies Mile.
The proposal was approved by Building and Housing Minister Nick Smith under the Housing Accord and Special Housing Areas Act in July.
Under that process, only affected parties can make submissions on the proposal.
The Queenstown Country Club proposal comprises two tracts of land - the northern site on the Frankton-Ladies Mile Highway and the southern tract located beside Jones Ave, connecting Lake Hayes Estate and Shotover Country.
It covers a total land area of about 52ha and proposes the construction of a 244 residential-unit retirement village, with hospital care and commercial facilities; an 88-unit residential retirement village; and a total of 36 residential lots in Onslow Rd across the two interlinked sites.
The majority of the affected parties are neighbouring residents, but also include the Department of Conservation, Queenstown Lakes District Council and Rockgas Ltd.
They have until November 16 to make submissions and, based on the availability of commissioners, a week-long hearing may be held in January.
Meanwhile, no submissions were received on the Arrowtown Retirement Village SHA.
The Arrowtown Lifestyle Retirement Village joint venture partnership proposes to construct and operate a retirement village in McDonnell Rd comprising 120 villas, 75 apartments, a 100-bed care home, a community centre and associated facilities and amenities.
Submissions on that proposal closed on October 3.
The only affected parties which had not provided written approval were Mt Soho owners Ed and Carol Lamont, who have just been granted consent to subdivide 42ha of land they own at the corner of McDonnell and Hogans Gully Rds for six homes.
Dame Elizabeth and Murray Hannan submitted in opposition to the proposal, saying, among other things, upgrades to services should be completed at the developer's cost before consents were granted.
However, because the Hannans were not deemed to be an affected party, their submission was not valid and, as such, could not be accepted.
