Council backs Subdivision at Wānaka's Sticky Forest, Details Debated in Court
Stuff - Wanaka: 30-Nov-2023
Residential development at Wānaka’s Sticky Forest appears inevitable after the Queenstown Lakes District Council revealed it supports partial subdivision on the site.
On Wednesday, council lawyer Sarah Scott told the Environment Court in Queenstown that the council now supported 133 of the 146 allotments sought at Sticky Forest.
There remained differences between the council and the promoters of the development over interpretations of “outstanding natural landscape” (ONL) zoning and provisions such as the height of buildings, she said.
The court is considering an appeal to allow development on 18 hectares of the 50ha Sticky Forest overlooking Lake Wānaka.
