Remarkables Park Limited and NZ Ski Limited proposed the construction and operation of a gondola in Queenstown Lakes District's Wakatipu Basin.
Access between Remarkables Park Town Center and Remarkables Ski Area will be provided by the gondola. As per the proposal, the gondola is to cross the Kawarau River corridor and ascend to the Remarkables Ski Field on the Ben Cruachan Face and through Rastus Burn Valley.
r+m was committed to identifying the values of landscape and amenities in the local environment. They will evaluate the potential effects on these values of the development and its operation. Their report will inform the Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) and substantiate applications for this project for resource consent.
The key landscape issue of this project is the degree to which the proposed gondola has the potential to affect the surrounding environment's natural character and amenity.
