Queenstown Lakes has been experiencing heavy rain and strong winds across the district. Some roads remain closed due to flooding and slips. The QLDC Emergency Operations Centre is closely monitoring conditions alongside Otago Regional Council and Otago Emergency Management. See our Emergency Management webpage for more information (including a list of road closures) or follow along on our Facebook page.

Subdivision Code of Practice (CoP)

Tikaka Wawaetaka

Our Land Development and Subdivision Code of Practice (CoP) sets out the minimum standards that must be met for works and infrastructure constructed within a new development.

The applicable CoP to your development is listed within your consent conditions, however we encourage all developments where older versions are referenced to meet the 2025 CoP where possible. This is because the 2025 CoP provides requirements closer aligned with current best practice.
