As part of the Queenstown Lakes District Council's major development of the lakefront, boulders have been put in place to restrict parking, and 10 new wooden seats and a shipping container with seating inside have been placed.

The fence around the new lakefront car park is due to come down before Christmas.
Stage two will connect the new $800,000, 68-space car park - due to be complete by Christmas - with the town centre.
