The Queenstown Lakes District is one of the fastest growing areas in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a diverse landscape spanning 8,719 km2 and includes Queenstown and Wānaka, and the smaller townships of Makarora, Hāwea, Luggate, Albert Town, Glenorchy, Kinloch, Cardrona, Kingston, and Arrowtown. The Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) provides local government support to the people within these communities. In doing this, the three community goals are always front of mind: vibrant communities, enduring landscapes, and bold leadership. What QLDC looks after: • Community well-being and development – policies, surveys, economic development, working groups. • Environmental health and safety - building control, civil defence, waste minimisation, and environmental health. • Infrastructure - roading and transport, sewerage, water and stormwater. • Recreation and culture – facilities, arts and events funding. • Resource management - land use planning and development control. How QLDC does this: • Following relevant legislation, such as the LGA and RMA. • Engaging with the community early in the process for strategies, plans, and proposals. • Raising funds for the benefit of the community - through rates on property, fees and licenses, investments, loans and grants. • Managing, protecting, and conserving the local environment. • Lobbying Central Government for services and issues relevant to the local community. • Collaborating with social service organisations, Kāi Tahu, ORC, NZTA, and other organisations to address local issues and needs.
