Meadow 3 Ltd, the developer behind the Threepwood subdivision, has applied for the consents, which are all linked.
Meadow 3 development manager Stuart Anderson, of Signal Management Group in Dunedin, said he had never encountered "anything quite so intricate" in his career.
Two of the resource consent applications relate to mitigating effects of tree-felling, limbing and pruning work done at the site in 2005.
In 2007, Meadow 3 Ltd was taken to the Environment Court by Arrowtown resident Fred van Brandenburg and the Queenstown Lakes District Council, facing allegations it removed trees from the site, in breach of a land-use consent in which some trees were protected by a covenant.
The Environment Court's decision effectively stopped any further development at the Ladies Mile site - affecting six lots of the 200ha site - until such time as a solution was found.
The application being considered next week proposes to restore the "Arcadian or picturesque qualities of the landscape".
Mr Anderson said Meadow 3 was also proposing to carry out some earthworks to create "mounds".
However, to do that the company needed subdivision consent.
"The subdivision application is all part of it, too - we couldn't do the planting and earthworks that we need to do without reconfiguring four of the lots," he said.
The remaining two applications related to the historic homestead and woolshed at the site.
Both are category 2 heritage buildings protected under the council's district plan.
Meadow 3 plans to restore the homestead to its original 1909 character and alter the interior to establish a restaurant, commercial kitchen, library and lounge.
The veranda would also be restored to its original full frontage and the main entrance would be realigned.
It also wants to convert the existing woolshed to a day spa, comprising five treatment-massage rooms; a sauna and steam room; a spa-soak pool; a gymnasium; change areas; and a staff room.
Because no final plans were included in the original consent, approved in 2004, Meadow 3 was advised to lodge a separate resource consent for a controlled activity, for "adaptive re-use".
"The application [before the commissioners] is exactly that.
"The consent order said the buildings can be adapted to a lodge, but you'll have to get a further consent to do the work that's already contended."
That application was lodged in 2007 and proceeded on a non-notified basis.
It was put on hold while Environment Court proceedings were carried out, so the site could be treated holistically.
Mr Anderson said Lakes Environmental's planner now felt the application should be publicly notified.
Finally, the company was applying for consent to establish new buildings associated with visitor accommodation use.
"That really sits together with the homestead; they go hand-in-hand.
"In order to run this thing as a lodge, we need some other things - waste bins and dry stores for food."
The lodge, associated car parking and the day spa were intended for visitor use.
Consent was granted in 2004 to establish 10 "cottages" for short-term visitor accommodation, he said.
The only opposing submitter in all of the four consent applications was Mr van Brandenburg.
The hearing is set down for Tuesday and Wednesday at the Crowne Plaza.

Meadow 3 Ltd's applications:
The landscape
> Consent to vary three conditions of a land-use consent, to retrospectively address effects created as a result of tree-felling and pruning work done in 2005. Meadow 3 Ltd proposes extensive re-planting and the creation of mounds which would also help to mitigate the effects.
Subdivision consent for a boundary adjustment and the relocation of some building platforms.
> To create the mounds, Meadow 3 Ltd also has to gain subdivision consent to adjust some boundaries and relocate some building platforms.
The homestead
> Notification determination for external alterations to the homestead and woolshed to form a lodge and day spa. Meadow 3 Ltd's original consent in 2004 included a lodge complex. At that time no plans were available for the complex and Meadow 3 Ltd was advised to apply for a "controlled activity" resource consent.
This was lodged in 2007, and it proceeded on a non-notified basis before being put on hold. Lakes Environmental now feels the consent should be publicly notified. The commissioners will make that decision next week.
Utilities
> Consent to remove existing buildings, establish new buildings for visitor accommodation and undertake associated earthworks. To operate the lodge complex commercially, Meadow 3 Ltd also requires resource consent to remove three existing buildings around the homestead and replace those with four utilities buildings, to be used for waste and dry food storage, behind the homestead.
> Consent sought to establish 31 car parks, in two separate areas, and relocate the existing manager's cottage.
