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.

Wānaka Network Operating Framework

The Wānaka Network Operating Framework is an assessment of our transport network, recognising the diverse needs of all road users and the integration with land use.  This will be used to understand the requirements of the network and focus investment in future schemes, including the Wānaka Masterplan.

Parking Strategy

QLDC is completing a parking strategy project which will result in a Parking Strategy, Parking Guidelines and area specific Parking Management Plans for the District. These documents assess parking demand for various modes of transport (i.e - cars, coaches, delivery vehicles, motorbikes, bikes), and optimisation of the available space whilst providing the direction and framework to make consistent and transparent decisions about parking.

Work on the strategic documents is on-going, and it is expected that they will be completed within the next few months
