The Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) is tendering the project, which will consider the development of existing and potential sites and how to future-proof the district’s sport and recreation facilities against forecast population growth.
Council community services general manager Thunes Cloete said the master plan would flesh out the $12 million in spending outlined in the latest 10-year plan.
That included two more indoor courts, a multi-use artificial turf and upgraded gym and fitness facilities.
The Wanaka Recreation Centre master plan would be "refreshed" to complement the $12.3 million pool facilities, which opened in June.
"As well as a significant building programme, we’re looking to provide a balance between organised sports and more informal uses of the sites such as walking, running and biking trails, and open spaces for activities like family picnics."
