Hearings for Rezoning Conclude

A strong consultancy team attended the hearings at Edgewater Resort in Wanaka on the 14 June presenting final evidence in support of the residential rezoning of 20 hectares. The leadership of Dean Chrystal and Pru Stevens reflected the quality of the submission and subsequent "kone te kone" hearings with the commissioners,

A key component that might impact on the result stems around the lack of "legal access' to the site in respect to a residential subdivision and removal of trees from the site.

The decision now lies in the hands of Commissioners and a decision is due early 2018.
