Mr Mander said residents and ratepayers were being asked for their opinions on Arrowtown speed limits. A discussion document is available online as a "starting point for community conversation".
"Arrowtown has retained the narrow streets and unformed footpaths of the gold rush era, which makes it unique, but the town now caters for an increased population and many thousands of tourists each year," he said.
Options for Arrowtown included keeping the speed limits the same; reducing speed limits; introducing elements to reduce speed - for example, speed bumps; or "greater enforcement".
The discussion document also gave more information on what a review of the speed limit would entail and also detailed the results of recent speed surveys carried out on Arrowtown's main streets.
"We'd like to encourage everyone who uses Arrowtown's streets and roads to read the document, think about the situation as it affects them and give us their feedback."
The Arrowtown speed limit discussion document is available from council offices, local libraries and online at www.qldc.govt.nz
Feedback can be submitted via email - services@qldc.govt.nz with the subject line "Arrowtown Speed Reduction"; by letter to Private Bag 50072; or submitted online at www.qldc.govt.nz/arrowtown_speed_reduction
People could also get more information or submit their feedback directly at a drop-in session to be held on August 31, from 2pm to 6pm, at the Tennis Club community rooms on Centennial Ave.
