Lakeview – Taumata

The project will:

• help to achieve the purpose of the Act
• have positive effects on social well-being by providing employment opportunities and flow-on economic benefits, additional residential and commercial premises, and public open space in central Queenstown
• provide, over a two and a half-year period, approximately:
  • 19 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs in planning and design; and
  • 170 FTE jobs in construction; and
  • 54 FTE jobs in financing, sales, leasing, and marketing
• generate approximately 180 permanent FTE jobs once the retail and commercial activities are operational
• increase housing supply by approximately 370 residential units, 137 of which are intended for co-living
• contribute to a well-functioning urban environment through the provision of a variety of housing types in a location that has good access to workplaces, community services, and natural and open spaces
• likely progress faster than would otherwise be the case under the Resource Management Act 1991 standard processes.

Any actual and potential adverse effects on the environment, and measures to mitigate adverse effects, can be appropriately tested by an expert consenting panel against Part 2 of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the purpose of the Act.
