Thanks to those that have taken part in the early insights survey. Feedback closed as of 5.00pm Monday 18 September 2023. We received 110 completed surveys which the Parks team are collating and will create a summary report to share in early 2024.
We're undertaking a review of the Glenorchy Airstrip Reserve Management Plan (RMP) 2016. To help inform any future changes to this plan, we’re gathering insights and suggestions from airstrip users and the wider community.
Background
Council is responsible for managing the Glenorchy Airstrip, a small aerodrome situated just south of the township of Glenorchy, on the banks of Lake Whakatipu.
The Glenorchy Airstrip Reserve Management Plan (RMP) is a document prepared under the Reserves Act 1977 outlining how Queenstown Lakes District Council will manage the airstrip for users and the Glenorchy community. The main purpose of this plan is to maintain the aerodrome to an appropriate standard for emergency and low intensity community, recreational and commercial tourism aviation activities.
The Glenorchy Airstrip RMP was adopted in 2016 and we engaged with the community in 2019 to review this plan. Since then, the use of the airstrip has changed, and a limit on flights and a noise contour have been added to the District Plan Designation that authorises the take-off and landing of all aircraft at the airstrip. A noise contour sets a maximum ‘bucket’ of noise that is allowed from use of the airstrip.
In response to these changes, we’re undertaking a review of the Glenorchy Airstrip RMP to better understand the needs of users and the community, and to ensure ongoing compliance with the District Plan.
This document can also be viewed at Council offices and Libraries district-wide

What happens next?
Feedback will be collated by the Parks team and used to develop a draft Glenorchy Airstrip Reserve Management Plan during September and October 2023. We’ll be in touch later this year to invite formal submissions on the draft plan, to be followed by a public hearing.
