Way To Go

The journeys that you make every day in and around the Queenstown Lakes District should be safe, easy, support your business and help you get the most out of life.

The partnership - smarter journeys, together

The Queenstown Lakes District Council, the New Zealand Transport Agency and Otago Regional Council are committed to working together in partnership to provide you with an enduring, safe and affordable transport system, which also provides you with transport choice.

Our partnership is known as Way to Go and recognises all three agencies have an important role to play in driving change.

Way To Go 1

There's a lot to think about and this page brings our work together in one place so you can participate in the process and monitor how we are integrating and managing our transport investigations.

Community Engagement

Your input will help to plan safe, accessible and connected transport solutions for everyone.  We'll keep you in the loop and ask for your views regularly as our investigations progress.   

Check out letstalk.qldc.govt.nz to see the current projects open for feedback.
