Disposal of land - Queenstown Events Centre and Frankton Golf Centre
Consultation has concluded.
Submissions are now closed on a proposal to potentially dispose of parts of the Queenstown Events Centre (QEC) and adjoining Frankton Golf Centre (FGC) to Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency. The disposal will support delivery of part of the Government funded $115M NZUP Queenstown Package.
Submissions closed at 5.00pm on Thursday 14 July.
Summary of the proposal:
We're working with Waka Kotahi as they plan to upgrade State Highway 6 and 6A, and provide people with more environmentally friendly choices for getting around our little piece of paradise.
As part of this, significant upgrades are planned for the intersection at SH 6 and 6A for which Waka Kotahi has requested to acquire parcels of land at Queenstown Events Centre and the Frankton Golf Centre.
The Crown through the Department of Conservation (DOC) owns portions of the land affected by this proposal, which includes approximately 2,493m2 of the QEC land and approximately 8,230m2 of FGC land.
The QEC land required is adjacent to the highway and set back from existing uses. We're not expecting material operational effects on the Events Centre.
While QLDC doesn’t own the land Frankton Golf Centre sits on, it does manage it on behalf of the Crown. We think it’s important the community has an opportunity to have a say on how the land is affected by the proposed transport improvements and will include all feedback to both the Department of Conservation and Waka Kotahi before any decisions are made.
Disposing of this land will require some minor modifications to the golf facility. We have included a proposed reorientation plan below, which can be read as part of the wider land disposal proposal.
