Universal Developments, owned by Wanaka developer Lane Hocking, is preparing a plan that could result in the creation of as many as 1000 sections on a 122ha block of rural land in Cemetery Rd.
Mr Hocking confirmed to the Otago Daily Times this week he would attend the meeting.
SHAs are intended to encourage the building of "affordable" houses and the consent process, via the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act, is less onerous than via the Resource Management Act.
Concerns have been raised in the Lake Hawea area about the process lacking opportunity for public consultation.
Mr Hocking has held two open days on site and says he expects the Queenstown Lakes District Council will operate a "full four-week submission period".
He expects to submit his proposal to the council within the next month.
A new group called Keep Hawea Beautiful is circulating a petition opposing the SHA and a member, Tim Ryan, said the group was concerned the SHA legislation was a "hurried way to side-step RMA process".
"Of particular concern is that any initiative such as the SHA housing scheme are out of touch and at odds with the council's district plan.
"We are yet to learn of the council's strategies and goals to support and enhance the economic viability of the ever-decreasing, precious working farmland that is the heritage of the Upper Clutha.
"In a world where small-scale local farming is a growth industry, would it not be prudent to protect these landscapes?
"Under this scheme of 1000 affordable properties, a little town like Hawea could be quadrupled in size within 10 years."
Hawea Community Association chairman Paul Cunningham declined to discuss the issue before the meeting but confirmed councillors and a council planner would be there.
