Arrowtown will soon be pumping.
RD Petroleum managing director Don Harvey told the Otago Daily Times consent had been granted for the company's proposed unmanned fuel station in the town, after a resource consent hearing in Queenstown in November.
Subject to an appeal period, Mr Harvey said he hoped to have the $750,000 fuel station - to be built on a bare site on the corner of Berkshire and Wiltshire Sts - operational within six months.
It has been eight years since the town has had a petrol station after pumps were removed from the former petrol station on Berkshire St in 2007.
The station will have two underground tanks and two pumps, with diesel, 91 and 98 petrol under a canopy and will be a self-service operation.
RD Petroleum owns pumps across the lower South Island, including at Te Anau, Tarras, Ranfurly, Kurow and Hyde.
