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