Hundreds of new homes planned for Queenstown despite region's economic woes

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

More than 1000 “affordable” homes are being planned for Queenstown, despite the tourist town being one of the hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Coneburn Special Housing Area, which will accommodate about 600 new homes, received resource consent on Monday.

In August, neighbouring Henley Downs Farms Ltd applied to the Queenstown Lakes District Council to create 272 new residential lots, while Hanley’s Farm applied for 145. Read more about the new developments here.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
