A wastewater overflow has entered Lake Whakatipu along part of the Frankton Arm near Goldfield Heights. The issue was resolved within five minutes of the overflow occurring, but warning signage has been erected on the lakefront in the affected area. Water quality testing is underway and signage will be removed once clear results are returned.

Arrowtown-Kawarau Ward Councillor Neeta Shetty yesterday confirmed her resignation from Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) with immediate effect.

Having been successfully elected as a Councillor for the newly formed ward in the October 2022 local election, Ms Shetty confirmed she was standing down for personal reasons which made continuing in the position untenable.

In departing QLDC, Ms Shetty wished the new Council success in the term ahead.

Ms Shetty’s resignation triggers a by-election in the Arrowtown-Kawarau Ward and details regarding that process, including timings, will be published in the near future.
