Consultation has concluded.

Construction on Stage Two of the Wānaka' Lakefront Development Plan is now complete, with some finishing touches to be made on informative signage and the installation of historical tiles alongside the shared pathway.

Temporary fencing is in place to protect newly planted lawn areas and these will be removed in December 2022.


Wānaka's lakefront is one of the community's most treasured assets, integral to both local and visitor experiences in the town and an ever-increasingly popular place to be. Following the completion of the Wānaka Lakefront Reserves Management Plan (2014), a three month consultation period was held in 2016 and produced the Wānaka Lakefront Development Plan.


The big moves

The community feedback shaped four 'big moves'. Every stage and project within the Lakefront Development Plan will be designed with the four big moves in mind:

  1. Restore and develop ecology
  2. Provide continuous access
  3. Improve landuse
  4. Provide a range of facilities


A staged approach

The Wānaka Lakefront Development Plan is split into five stages:

  1. Stage One [complete]
  2. Stage Two
  3. Stage Three
  4. Stage Four (in conjunction with the Wānaka Town Centre Masterplan)
  5. Stage Five


Stage Two:

Two Concept Plans where shared for Stage Two of the Wānaka Lakefront Development Plan, the area of lakefront running from the Wānaka-Mt Aspiring Road Carpark through to Dungarvon Street and the Wānaka Town Centre.

Both Concept Plans feature an active travel promenade, allowing pedestrians and cyclists the continuous access along the lakefront that they crave. We're also intending to retain all existing trees in the area, and propose the introduction of a feature garden.

Concept Plan #1 features the introduction of parking along the lakeside of Ardmore Street and new Millennium Pathway tiles being laid in a new location. Options for that are along the active travel promenade, or in and around the proposed feature garden.

Concept Plan #2 features the Millennium Pathway staying in its existing location, and no parking added to Ardmore Street.

    Stage Two: Concept Plans

    163 responses

    Help shape Wānaka's lakefront now and for future generations to enjoy.

    We've been working on revamped concepts for Stage Two of the Wānaka Lakefront Development Plan, following community feedback last year regarding parking on the lakefront. We've created two designs, with both concepts featuring an active travel promenade, a proposed feature garden and the retention of existing trees. Option #1 features 144 new car parking spaces along the lakeside of Ardmore Street, and Option #2 includes retaining the Millennium Pathway in its existing location and adding no parking.

    If you prefer parking along the lakeside of Ardmore Street, there are a number of locations where new Millennium Pathway tiles could be laid.

    There are no preferred options at this stage of the process, and your feedback will help provide Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) and the Wānaka Community Board (WCB) with direction to develop these concepts further.  


    Please make sure you have looked at the Concept Plans for Stage Two before completing this survey. You can find these designs above.
