Queenstown Events Centre Expansion
What we're working on
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) confirmed the project at its meeting on Thursday 12 November, approving both the proposed four-court option alongside an expanded health and wellness space. The investment responds to growing pressure on existing facilities, where demand from more than 294 user groups regularly exceeds available capacity.
The new facility has a capital budget of $46 million, funded through Council’s 2024-2034 Long Term Plan. The budget will deliver a single-storey building of four indoor courts, expanded health and wellness facilities, multifunction and support spaces, and around 160 new car parks.
The project team will now start the detailed design and procurement phase of the project.
What's coming next
The project team will now progress to the detailed design stage of the project to help inform the procurement approach.
More detail will be put here in the coming weeks.
What is not being worked on
We are currently working on a core scope focused on the indoor courts, with supporting facilities still being worked through.
Everything that sits outside of that scope is not being considered at this stage.
The procurement process to go out for further design and/or construction has not yet commenced.
