Coronet Alpine Chalet Ltd has applied to the Queenstown Lakes District Council for resource consent to create a 15-lot subdivision at Arthurs Point, near Queenstown.
The company, owned by Carl O'Connor, of Hamilton, wants to subdivide a 3.2513ha lot in the rural visitor zone, just north of Stormcat Lodge, near Coronet Plaza.
The upper slopes of the site are on the Coronet Peak landslide, which is regarded as having "marginal equilibrium" and has been already built onin the past 50 years.
The application says the development lies near the base of a significant hillside, "which provides natural mitigation of usual effects from neighbouring properties".
A geoconsultant's report shows the development is feasible provided suitable engineering input is obtained for any construction.
The application says the development will not have any adverse effects on the environment.

The building is not listed as a heritage building with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
