The Queenstown Lakes District Council is expecting receive four new Special Housing Area expressions of interest in April, including a massive 1500-house development in Gibbston Valley.
In a report to the council about the Laurel Hills SHA proposal, staff refer to four other expected proposals- the 600-house Coneburn SHA, north of Hanley's Farm, Glenpanel East and Glenpanel West at Ladies Miles, which proposes a minimum of 300 houses, and Avalon, a 1500-house proposal at Victoria Flats in Gibbston Valley.
An SHA is an area of land suitable for new housing, where development can be fast-tracked under the more permissive consenting powers.
