1 Attachment (b) Overview OEIEW Tourism NZ s working party on golf tourism s identified significant growth opportunities for high yielding golf tourism in NZ and particularly the Wakatipu. They ve also identified a pending supply shortage for quality golf courses in the Queenstown Lakes area. With the adjacent Dalgleish arm on Millbrook s western boundary being offered for sale in 214, Millbrook recognised the opportunity to expand its current 27hole operation and, in November 214, the Overseas Investment Office approved purcse of the 66 hectare block. Millbrook currently s 27holes of golf but practically can only operate a single 18hole course on any given day. By adding an additional 9holes of golf there is a marginal increase in maintenance costs but a 1% increase in golf supply with two 18hole courses able to be played simultaneously. As part of the District Plan review process, Millbrook is working with QLDC to review and update the 15 year old provisions of the Millbrook esort Zone. This review is necessary to address a number of district wide cnges and some anomalies tt ve arisen over time. The review is able to include a possible extension of the zone over the adjoining Dalgleish arm to increase its golf offering to a 36hole course. Dalgleish arm is the last remaining opportunity for Millbrook to develop a contiguous block of land with capacity for an additional 9holes to take it to a 36hole format. The land is uneconomic as a farming unit and unless developed, it is at risk of falling to wilding weed and rabbit infestation. The Millbrook proposal ensures tt it will ve a comprehensive ongoing land management plan. The Millbrook esort Zone presently allows up to 45 dwellings. The 36hole proposal does not seek to increase this ceiling, but golf development on its own s well known commercial risks including construction costs tt are able to be subsidised by appropriate residential property development. uture development area Millbrook s a proven track record as a responsible developer. It is a major contributor to the tourism industry and is one of the largest employers in the region with an annual pay roll in excess of $8m. Indirectly, it is a significant contributor to the local construction and service sectors. Dalgleish arm shown in red outline uture development area This draft proposal provides for the maintenance and enncement of the elevated open spaces of the Dalgleish arm and the further protection of Mill Creek, a major ource of Lake ayes. Millbrook welcomes suggestions and feedback on its proposal.

2 The Design tory alley floor + escarpment from Malagns oad (intermittent) ently rolling lower flats alley floor Mill Creek Major escarpment face North facing pasture Distant views from Arrowtown 2.5 to 4 km Minor escarpment face Upland plateaus outh west views screened by upper hillocks olling uplands Distant views from Lake ayes oad 1 to 2 km Upper hillocks iews from neighbours to upland plateau isibility cale + LandOM isibility is one of the principle determinants in guiding the scale, layout and location of future development on the Dalgleish block. Initial investigation quickly revealed tt the two parts of Dalgleish arm, being the upland plateau and lower flats adjacent to Malagns d, ve distinctly different visibility values. Aside from neighbours directly to the south, the upland, being tt land above the main escarpment face, is generally only visible at distance, and when viewed at a distance, those views are experienced at between approximately 2 and 4 kilometres. The high hillock landforms, at the western side of the block, screen all views to the upper plateau and lower slopes from the west and southwest. rom Malagns oad, there are glimpse views through trees to the major escarpment and the lower slopes. Existing and future consented Millbrook development is also visible from here. The Dalgleish arm block contains many landscape forms. rom the western upper hillocks, to the valley floor, the landscape is complex and varied. This drives and affects the design layout. The draft plans ve located possible restrained housing development on areas requiring the least alteration to the land, taking into account the visibility factors. These are noted above as the upland plateaus with golf course located on those locations sited approximately on the rolling uplands The primary gulley forms, running north south, are substantially protected and will form the primary spines for ecological enncement. imilarly, the steep escarpment face will remain in its current state, albeit with some tree removal (including wilding species). Closer to Malagns oad, future golf fairways are located on the flat land, with a reasonable paddock buffer. TE DEIN POCE M I L L B O O K Z O N E The design process follows a creative path of investigation and elimination, developing rough concepts tt explore design options and alternatives, and testing those against variables such as landform, visibility, retention of cracter, access and the rural guidelines of the District Plan. ome early concepts are shown below, by way of example.
