Feedback must reach the Queenstown Lakes District Council by today, with the results then to be analysed by the council’s parks and recreation team.
Three development concepts provide different amenities for the public, such as more ecology, facilities and parking.
One of the potential facilities is a new Marine Rescue Centre, to be operations base for the local coastguard.
The building was proposed in two of the three concepts.
It sits to the south of the Scout Den in one plan, and north of the den in the other.
Coastguard Wanaka Lakes president Jonathan Walmisley said he was pleased to see the rescue centre included in the two concepts. He said the site north of the Scout Den was preferred. This was because it provided the least obtrusive view of the building from either the lake or the road, and would be far more cost-effective than the other site.
However, he said it was "imperative that the Marine Rescue Centre be located at Eely Point", as it would minimise deployment time and increase the survivability of anyone in trouble on the lake.
The coastguard currently operates out of the A&P showgrounds and Mr Walmisley said the busy summer season had affected how quickly the crew could respond to callouts.
"[In one instance] we responded to a vessel which had broken down. The time it took for responders to cross town and then for the vessel to cross town was longer than we would experience in the less busy periods."
"We have also carried out other operations this summer and it is clear that being on the east side of Roys Bay would cut down the response time over the ever-widening busy period from between 20 and 40 minutes."
This would have a significant impact, he said, as those in trouble in the lake without a wetsuit only have a survival time of around one to three hours.
Other developments include an extension to the existing boat ramp, as well as the possibility of a new playground, skate park and volleyball court.
Once closed, public feedback will be passed to the Wanaka Community Board and the council for their consideration.
The summary conducted by the parks and recreation team will be made available to the public.
