Polluters must help foot the bill to clean up Lake
Hayes.
A proposal by Otago Regional Council to make
residents who live immediately around the polluted lake pay
most of the restoration cost is unfair, Otago Fish &
Game environment officer Nigel Paragreen says. By
failing to target those responsible for the degradation of
Lake Hayes, the ORC is sending a message that polluters
won’t be held accountable, Mr Paragreen says. A
great deal of the development upstream of Lake Hayes has

developers. These people should chip in for the

Wolves of Queenstown Sir Michael Hill s world-renowned golf course, The Hills, has a pack of 110 giant bronze wolves circling a three-tonne warrior. The sculptures are only open to members of the exclusive Hills Golf Course and visitors to the Lodge at the Hills. If you re lucky enough to be one of them, you also get to explore a growing collection of other pieces, like five iron-cast Clydesdale horses, scattered around the golf course.

Each wolf weighs between 200kg and 300kg. If you can t get a reservation, try your luck spotting them from a hot air balloon. While pilots can t control the balloon s direction (it s at the mercy of the wind), Sunrise Balloons often swoops in over the course.

Queenstown Lakes councillors have agreed to start community engagement on a draft masterplan and associated planning provisions for Ladies Mile between Frankton and Lake Hayes.
City Hall planning and development boss Tony Avery says the masterplan includes a wide mix of development densities, opportunity for an improved bus service, local facilities like a town centre, a primary and high school, and a community and sports centre.
“These factors aim to encourage movement in and around the area, and reduce the number of trips in private vehicles required to cross the Shotover Bridge,” Avery says.
