The Queenstown Lakes District Council is the local government authority for the Queenstown Lakes District in Otago, New Zealand. The district spans a diverse landscape that includes Queenstown, Wānaka, and several smaller towns. The council pursues three core goals: vibrant communities, enduring landscapes, and bold leadership. It oversees public functions such as infrastructure, environmental health and safety, land use planning, and recreation and culture.

It operates under applicable laws and engages with the community early in strategy development, funding its activities through rates, fees and licenses, investments, loans, and grants, and collaborating with other organizations to meet local needs. In 2026, the council announced a collaboration with Queenstown Trails and Waka Kotahi NZTA to advance active-transport infrastructure, including the Pūāhuru Bridge across State Highway 6 to facilitate safe passage to Frankton from the eastern suburbs.
