Proposed zipline would pump $4m into Hanmer Springs economy in five years
Twenty-five new tourism jobs may be created at the popular Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa complex if a new multimillion-dollar ride gets the go-ahead.
The Canterbury company has lodged a resource consent application with the Hurunui District Council to build an 850-metre-long downhill zipline on the village’s Conical Hill Reserve.
The consent is open for submissions until April 19 and, if approved, the ride will be up and flying by the end of the year.
