Has anyone given any thought to how you get all these people along Lake Esplanade and negotiating the One Mile roundabout? There is zero spare transport capacity today. Are they going to levitate from Frankton direct?
So what we have is a breast reduction specialist surgeon, a gentleman not backward in coming forward with practice-promotion, partnered with, it appears, his youthful son Matthew, a manager at Valquest, a project management business, proposing to tear up the valley and create general mayhem for a completely unprepared Queenstown, all dressed up in cute-sounding care for the disabled and iwi interests. It's all bollocks.
Focus on those black dotted lines with arrowheads and imagine 500 cars approaching from the other side of town, down the Esplanade and around that roundabout. Total gridlock.
I naively believed the Fast-Track legislation would unlock essential public housing programs along with the infrastructure projects necessary to deal with population growth. All it seems to have done so far in our region is power up a bunch of developers bent on private profit at massive, long-term public loss & cost.
And with the current QLDC asleep at the wheel of public service, we all just have to suck it up, and “change our behaviour”.

The Wakatipu basin could become a suburb of Queenstown? All buildings and no grass, no animals etc. But a few favored people will make a lot of money.
