The plan, which covers 136ha on either side of State Highway 6 along Ladies Mile, near Queenstown, was released by the council in June.
It shows more than 2800 residential units could be constructed under the Housing Accord and Special Housing Areas Act. The council was considering amending its lead special housing areas (SHA) policy to include Ladies Mile as "category 2" land, which meant the council could consider development there.
At present, the only SHA approved on the Ladies Mile to date was the Queenstown Country Club which was under construction.
The plan shows medium-high density housing, along with a mixed-use zone.The land subject to the plan is owned by about 15 parties.
Public feedback on the indicative master plan closed last Wednesday and QLDC communications adviser Jimmy Sygrove said 309 submissions were received.
The submissions would be summarised and shared with councillors to review ahead of the next full council meeting, on August 17. The feedback would be made publicly available three working days before that meeting, Mr Sygrove said.
● Feedback on the council’s Queenstown Town Centre Masterplan will close on Friday. The plan, about two years in the making, was revealed last month.
Components include establishing a cultural and community heart featuring a new building to house council staff; public transport and other transport options; improved parking facilities; and enhancing the way the town looks, feels and functions.
A key component would be the Inner Links project, on the table since about 2005.
That proposal was for an arterial link to be established to divert traffic around the resort’s CBD. Under the council’s preferred option, that would require the Queenstown Memorial Centre, home to the resort’s Returned and Services’ Association, to be demolished to make way for the road.
