There were two stages to the decision.

Part of the recommendation for a decision was ratified by the Council on 15 December 2006. Council was concerned that the recommendation contained a further 57 items highlighted through the submission process but not included in the original notice. Further submissions were called for and closed on 7 February 2007. Consultation information was broken into three volumes Please note: the list of additional items has been modified in accordance with the Privacy Act, removing the names and addresses of landowners, replaced by 'private owner', or if a public agency, the name of that agency, for example Department of Conservation or Queenstown Lakes District Council.
