Council communications manager Meaghan Miller said the council had received 1100 submissions on the draft plan, which was out for public consultation until May 22.
It only received 230 submissions during the last round of consultation, in 2006, she said.
"It is the most submissions received on either a 10-year plan or annual plan."
Councillors would hear from submitters on June 4 in Wanaka and June 5 in Queenstown, she said.
The plan would be adopted on June 30.
About 40 submitters had indicated they wished to make oral submissions to councillors at the hearings.
"We are very pleased so many people took the time to make their views known. They were extremely well thought-through and there is a lot of value in the submissions," Ms Miller said.
More than 600 had been from the Wanaka aquatic and sports centre consultation process but were carried through to the 10-year plan consultation.
Most of the other submissions received were on the issues the council had highlighted in the plan's summary, including financial affordability, new council offices, transport, and rubbish collection, she said.
"Quite a few have been centred on financial affordability."
The plan projected $413 million debt for the Queenstown Lakes District Council by 2019 and was tagged unaffordable by the Office of the Auditor-general in an audit.
