Plan change 18 for Mount Cardrona Station will be operative from next week after being adopted by the Queenstown Lakes District Council yesterday.
The ratification followed a recent Environment Court decision which upheld the council's rezoning of the 131ha zone.
The plan change provides for a range of future development opportunities including residential, commercial and visitor activities. Large areas of open space and a network of trails were also incorporated in the development proposal.
Mt Cardrona Station developers recently put the high-country property on the market, with expressions of interest sought by December 19.
