A boil water is in place for businesses and properties across Queenstown following a number of confirmed local cases of illness caused by the protozoa, cryptosporidium. This affects all properties serviced by the Council’s Queenstown supply including Frankton, Quail Rise and Tucker Beach Rd, Kelvin Heights and Hanley’s Farm. Read more here.

The state of local emergency in Queenstown, originally declared on Friday morning after a severe weather event, has been lifted. However, some restrictions will remain in place to protect public safety as the focus turns to recovery. Full information here.

About the programme of works

We’re upgrading several intersections and roads around Wānaka and the Upper Clutha as part of a continuing programme of works with Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Authority to improve safety for road users in the area.

These projects are partially funded by Waka Kotahi’s Road to Zero strategy, which adopts a world leading evidence-based approach and delivers cost effective upgrades to improve road safety.

Our projects

  • Work is now underway to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Aubrey Road and Anderson Road. Once complete, the new roundabout will include a slightly amended road layout, new raised courtesy crossings to provide safe spaces for people walking to cross, and a connection for the soon-to-be-completed shared pathway on Anderson Road.

    Starting from Monday 18 September, temporary traffic lights will be operating at the intersection of Aubrey Road and Anderson Road in Wānaka to assist with the safe construction of a new roundabout while keeping the road open. We estimate these lights will be required for the next seven weeks, and some delays are expected for traffic.

    Pedestrian and emergency access will be maintained at all times throughout the worksite.

    Crews will be operating between 7.00am and 6.00pm and working on Mondays to Saturdays.

    The contract for this work was awarded to John Fillmore Contracting Ltd (JFC).
