A three-day resource consent hearing over a planned 18-lot subdivision at Dalefield, near Arrowtown, will begin this week.
Platinum Estates Ltd last year lodged a resource consent application for the subdivision, which is intended to be developed in four stages.
The public notification said consent was sought to subdivide three proposed lots, ranging in size from 2.76ha to 74.4ha, at the site, northwest and southeast of Littles Rd, near its intersection with Fitzpatrick Rd.
The site is in the rural general zone. The proposed subdivision would create 18 residential allotments for rural living.
A land management and structural planting plan was proposed.
The application said Platinum Estates also proposed three pastoral management lots, two access lots on to Littles Rd and a "potential recreation reserve".
A pedestrian easement would enable public access over the site.
The hearing begins on Wednesday afternoon, at the Crowne Plaza.
