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.

About the project

Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) has employed the services of a professional contractor to complete detailed design and construction of a new community playground at McPhee Park, Hāwea Flat.

This playground is a community led project through the ‘Playground Sub-Committee’ of the Hāwea Community Association. In addition, QLDC will be funding the inclusion of a new, single unit, dry-vault toilet facility at McPhee Park.

We thank the Hāwea Flat community for their patience while we work to improve community facilities in our district.

Who's completing the work?

QLDC has engaged experienced professional contractors, Creospace Ltd (Creo) for the playground. Creo have already created three play spaces in our district including Rotary Park on the Wānaka Lakefront at 51 Mt Aspiring Road. 

Dan Williams Construction Services Ltd have been engaged to install the new toilet. Works to install the toilet facility and playground will take place concurrently.

When will work start?

Detailed design is in progress and construction is planned to start on Monday 19 May for a period of five-six weeks, weather dependent. 

What to expect

Contractors will carry out construction works within a cordoned off area of the park.

  • Please respect the cordon and DO NOT ENTER the work site

  • If you are asked to leave the area for safety reasons, please do so.
