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.

QLDC Resource Consents Web Page Updates Change To Application Payments Web Banner Feb25

These changes are part of ongoing efforts to improve the customer experience of the resource consent application process.

What's changed?

  • Applicants must not make any payment before lodging a resource consent through QLDC’s online Community Portal. 

  • Instead, an invoice for the initial fee will be issued once an application has been received (typically within 1-2 business days).

  • Payment correctly listing the application reference must be received before an application can progress further. 

  • Payments must only be made on receipt of an invoice.
