The application is for 116 medium-density residential dwellings, including 44 to be built by the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust.
Clark Fortune McDonald survey manager Chris Hansen said he anticipated the application - providing an overview of where housing, retail, roads, pedestrian areas and other amenities would be located - would be processed on a non-notified basis as it complied with the rules relating to the Shotover Country special zone.
If approved, a subdivision consent would then be required. It was hoped that consent would be lodged within the next couple of months.
Co-developer Grant Stalker said that, subject to approval, construction of the second phase would begin early next year at the site across the road from the $14 million Shotover Primary School, which is scheduled to open in February 2015.
Stage one comprised 54 lots, all of which had been ''sold down'', while 10 lots of the 36 in stage two had also been sold.
Construction of the first homes was expected after the first issue of titles, expected to be next month.
''It's exciting that the market we believed was there was the young family market.
''A great percentage [have been sold to] young families and first-home buyers.''
The 44 proposed housing trust properties were proposed for land given to the trust by Shotover Country Ltd.
Mr Stalker said the original stakeholders agreement between the two parties agreed to a gifting provision of 26 developed sites.
However, negotiations had enabled the gifting of undeveloped land to accommodate the additional homes.
A further 57 stand-alone homes would be built and sold by Classic Builders Ltd, the same company which developed part of the housing trust's Nerin Square development at Lake Hayes Estate and projects at Arthurs Point.
Those properties would be a mix of single- and two-storey units and include
landscaping.
Shotover Country had also proposed a 15-unit two-storey development adjoining a reserve area beside ''Toni's Terrace''.
Additionally, the company was seeking consent for a neighbourhood retail area on 2420sq m on the corner of Stalker Rd and Toni's Terrace.
Mr Stalker said about 10 retail premises were proposed, limited to a maximum floor area of 200m, with on-site car parking for 55 vehicles, a low-speed traffic environment, indented car parking, shared public open space and amenity landscape planting.
A pedestrian network was planned through the area, with two public reserve areas in the heart of the development to include play equipment for children.
Connections would link with the wider Queenstown Trail network to Quail Rise and Lake Hayes Estate.
