Spatial Plan. Over the past few weeks, our staff have been travelling around the district to introduce the most ambitious, wide-ranging planning exercise we’ve ever undertaken. The Queenstown Lakes Spatial Plan will determine where and how we live over a long-term period – in this case, 30 years into the future. Throughout the process we’ll look at the role of our settlements and communities today, and what we collectively want them to be for generations to come. For this we’re working together in partnership with central government and Kāi Tahu. Since the Spatial Plan will affect people who work and live here most of all, community consultation is at the heart of it. To best understand the views of people across the district we’ve arranged a series of workshops, which people have been encouraged to join in and share their thoughts. So far we have co-hosted four of the seven community workshops across the district, with the next one set to be held in Glenorchy on Thursday 21 November. The workshops have provided many open, meaningful and valuable discussions with the community. Encouragingly, what’s been highlighted is that we’ve been highly aligned in our thinking. With such a diverse group of people in our area there is a wide range of views on how growth should be shaped, all of which are important for us to hear and take into account. Please remember that all feedback, whatever it may be, will feed into shaping the draft plan. The Spatial Plan will provide a holistic picture of the Lakes District and Cromwell: considering how we protect what makes this area special, how our townships and settlements work together, and what actions and investments will be needed to deliver the outcomes we’re looking for. A well-designed Spatial Plan will ensure that future growth does not compromise our unique landscapes, our sites of significance to iwi, or environment, all of which are important to our communities and visitors alike. If you can’t make it to any of the sessions - it’s not a problem. We’re also asking for feedback through an online survey which tests various growth scenarios in both the Wakatipu and the Upper Clutha: this is open on QLDC’s Let’s Talk page (lets.talk.qldc.govt.nz) until 1 December. Let’s Talk will host summaries of the workshops once the engagement period has finished. Once the community pre-engagement closes we’ll be looking to write up a draft Spatial Plan, which will be followed by a formal public consultation process in March or April 2020. We all want to see a beautiful, vibrant community well into the future. This is your chance to let us know how you think we should do it. I strongly encourage you to get involved and make your voice heard. Jim Boult - Mayor

Startup Weekend 2019 was Sh!t Hot! Author: Mandy Cooper A sustainability venture for the hospitality industry came out on top during Queenstown’s annual Startup Weekend Queenstown Lakes 2019. Sh!t Hot Compost took home the top award at the conclusion of the 54-hour entrepreneurship event, hosted by Startup Queenstown Lakes. Sh!t Hot Compost won the crowd and judges over with its business model to collect food waste from local restaurants and process that into rich compost that can be resold to the consumer market. The venture would fill a well known-void in the waste stream in the District, which has the highest number of restaurants per capita in the country. Startup Weekend gives participants a first-hand experience to create a startup from scratch with the help of startup tools and guidance from a team of expert mentors. On Friday, 25 ideas were pitched by the 43 participants. Teams formed around the eight most interesting ideas and those teams then worked to validate and create a viable business model and solution to pitch it to a panel of judges, which included Mayor Jim Boult, AJ Hackett Bungy CIO Deidre Butler, and Magic Memories Co-founder John Wikstrom. While only one team was named the ‘winner’ weekend was more about small personal victories than anything else. Startup Queenstown Lakes’ CEO, James Burnes, commented on the experience for participants. “Startup Weekend gave every one of the participants challenges they had to overcome,” James said. “It was so exciting to see individuals rise to the occasion - and work together to deliver 8 incredible pitches on Sunday evening. To guide the participants along were well-seasoned business gurus keen to share their advice. Locally-based mentors included Feast Creative business development manager Kieran Gardiner (Queenstown), executive consultant Katherine James Schuitemaker (Glenorchy), marketing leader at JRNY.ai’s Bindy Edgen (Arrowtown), Wherewolf cofounder and CTO Wulf Solter, product development consultant Saskia van der Geest (Arrowtown), QLDC economic Development Manager Peter Harris (Queenstown), and Fully Charged Media’s director Darren Craig. Michelle Moynes, a team member of Sh!t Hot Compost, came into the weekend unsure of how it would pan out. “I learned so much, but not about the things I expected,” she said, referencing team dynamics, public speaking, and prioritising tasks under pressure. “I didn’t expect to connect so well with my teammates and to end up pitching the start of a real business that I was incredibly proud of,” Michelle said. “We uncovered a real need in the local economy, worked hard and were steadfast and determined - the result was mind-blowing.” Her business partners included Sebastian Chapman, Clare Evans, Stefanie Kremser, Claire Murphy, and Will Radford. The team is now pursuing the idea further. Moynes, along with Bernardo Barbosa de Araujo and Heather MacLeod were recognized by the mentors with ‘Rising Star’ awards for their hard work, team interaction, and potential as entrepreneurs.

Life is so busy in the basin - and this week’s been no exception starting off with Armistice Day on Monday. It’s also my father’s birthday and as an old soldier’s daughter, I’ve got a lot of respect for what soldiers do and did. Standing on top of the hill above Arrowtown with the flags flying and everyone’s medals gleaming is beautiful on any day, but the grey day we had on Monday was much brighter thanks to whoever planted all those beautiful red tulips. Tulip season is pretty well over now, and it’s the peonies’ turn to wow us - they really are the most deliciously cheerful flowers - great show-offy, bosomy things that they are. If you know anyone who needs a bit of perking up, a bunch of peonies is the perfect medicine. I’ve been taking them down to the chemo ward at Dunstan Hospital in Clyde - we are so lucky having this facility nearby and I nearly put my big fat foot in it. I was asking the nurses how much the chemo drip stands cost as I thought it might be good to have some in the hospital here so we didn’t have to drive so far for treatment. But then I discovered that Dunstan serves all the people needing chemo from miles away - not just us but Wanaka, Roxburgh, Ranfurly and everywhere in between so if they lost the Queenstown patients, they might lose the whole service. Gulp... On the subject of hospitals, there’s great news coming about Jo Booker’s recovery from a very nasty virus that had her in a coma in Dunedin. She’s one tough bird and can already beat her feeble minded friends here in the newspaper quizzes each morning. Best of luck, Jo and everyone is keenly awaiting your return. I was definitely the most feeble minded at a fascinating lunch on Friday with the Otago Medical Research Foundation. They allocate research grants and scholarships and one of the research grant recipients, Dr Heather Cunliffe was talking about her work which is now in the process of clinical trials in America it must be so unbelievably thrilling to make discoveries that can make such huge changes for people and literally save their lives. One discovery I wasn’t so thrilled about was seeing a wheelie bin piled high with clothes on Saturday morning - they looked like rain jackets and thermals etc - I mentioned it to the friend I was meeting and she said that it was from the marathon - they’d been given advice to take disposable rain jackets and buy cheap throwaway thermals at The Warehouse. I can’t help thinking the marathon would be a lot more interesting to watch and do a lot more good if everyone bought the gear they needed from the Salvation Army or the Cancer Society shop - then they could return it to be resold after the marathon. Imagine the fun outfits people could run in - maybe that’s where the Speedo team got their small suits - I’d have been there to cheer them on if I’d known.

My quality of life has gone down.
I W The council ‘quality of life’ survey is circulating
so being the good tax paying Queenstown citizen that I am, I dedicated some time to fill it out. My do good mentality wore off 35% through. I didn’t know I was gonna be tied down for bloody half an hour! The first couple of questions, I went through them with a breeze - 3 minutes down 10% through. I wrote my suggestion in detail
for my first written response box but as it dragged on - digging into my income - housing situation - the health services culture - it got harder and harder to sustain the appropriate attention for each grilling response written question. 50% through I had to give up and attend to my actual income earner. In order to get meaningful answers from engaged participates this survey just has to be shorter. Never get that time back.
Judgement on canine value. I think people need to stop with the dramatic knee jerk reactions. A dog in the back of a cab was a bit wet from the weather but some came to the conclusion that the dog that it was ill treated and felt the urge to publicly call out the owner on Queenstown Trading?! Judgement on face value. The owner probably had to keep it in the truck
because the office doesn’t allow dogs. Why do people feel the urge to use a trading site to slander people to the local masses? It was great to see a follow up message showing the dog was happy and wet from it’s 2 1/2 walk the following day. Happy wet dog.
No butts. Each to their own, if you want to smoke go for it but forgodsakes put your butts in the butt bin. There’s a small metal box attached to most of the street bins, why must you need to act like a wannabe movie star who drops the butt, stamps it out and walk away. It was cool look back in the day, sure, but now you just look like an inconsiderate dick. Since we managed to make the move to BYO bags maybe we bring back the pocket ash
tray! A small envelope where you stubb out your ciggy and take it with you or be more like Singapore and fine people for littering. Queenstown bay is riddled with used butts and these are getting in the mouths of our birdlife - If I see another person carelessly throw their butt on the ground I’m gonna walk up and shove my butt in their face. Kiss my ass butt breath.

Facebook / Website comments RE: Poll question - Do you eat the crusts? That’s the best part! When we were kids my brother and I fought over who got the crusts. My poor Mum! Crust wars. Saving the trees and all that? What really annoys me, is when these tourist attractions in Queenstown (gondola, earnshlaw etc.) Take your picture at the beginning and then at the end they print them ALL out and charge an extraordinary amount. When you say no, THEY BIN IT?????? You might as well just give me it?! Or don’t print them all out? I don’t understand!!!!!!
Marathon support Saturday started out wet and everyone was saturated getting to the buses but then Queenstown really shone and the day turned into perfect running weather. Despite the weather I was once again struck about how stunning the area is and how incredibly lucky we are to live here. Truly stunning scenery and an incredible network of trails that are well constructed and maintained. Well done Queenstown Trails, but the most important call out is the people of Queenstown, from the volunteers who truly are extraordinary with their enthusiasm and support to everyone on the pathways cheering us on. I have to tell
you I needed that level of support. 21km is a bloody long way and having people cheering you on is inspirational and what gets you to the end- well it did me!! Once you hit Queenstown Gardens you can see the finish line but with two km to go its that support from the crowd that carries you through. I am sure the visitors who journeyed from all over the country and overseas to complete the event will go away amazed and impressed. Well done Queenstown. You are fantastic and thank you. Enthusiastic runner

Methane targets a nail in the coffin for rural economies
by Simon Davies, President Federated Farmers Otago
Well that’s that then...so long to a prosperous and vibrant regional New Zealand. The Zero Carbon bill has passed into law in a form that hasn’t changed in any material way from the original version, despite some 13,000 public submissions on the topic. With the methane reduction target remaining at between 24% and 47%, expect regional economies to start to retrench. Note that upper methane reduction target is more than twice the level recommended by Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment (PCE) Simon Upton. I accept agricultural needs to do join efforts to cut greenhouse gases and meet our Paris Agreement commitments. The majority of farmers are willing happy to do their part - but not carry the can for the rest of the country. There are two points I want to emphasise. The Paris Agreement, which New Zealand and 194 other nations signed up to, was about reducing greenhouse gases at the same time as safeguarding food production and security to try and end hunger. Secondly, while fossil fuel burners continue to grow and expand their carbon emissions, they can merrily offset their emissions by planting trees, which is just a 30 year band-aid. This is just putting off the reality that behaviour has to change – essentially, burning less fossil fuel in our vehicles, power and manufacturing processes.
The methane reduction targets are daunting. The fact is there is currently no way to achieve them without wholesale production cuts. Given we are already the most efficient producers of meat and dairy protein in the world in terms of global warming footprint, what will these reductions in our output achieve? While New Zealand stops producing food, others who have considerably higher carbon footprints will pick up the slack and produce more greenhouse gases while doing it. It’s a fact this current government desperately wants to brush under the carpet. Here’s a question I’d love to hear Hon. Winston Peters answer. He says NZ First is the party for the regions – so why didn’t he and his fellow MPs vote for the very reasonable amendments to the Zero Carbon legislation proposed by National? Instead they’re sitting in Wellington handing nails to the Labour and Greens to belt into the coffin of our provincial economies. NZ First will need more than a billion dollars (or trees) to make up for the hole that this policy will create in rural New Zealand. We got to the polls again next year. Last time Winston Peters kept the nation on hold as he dilly-dallied on whether to go with Labour or National, as if it was ever in doubt given his longheld political animosities. Rural New Zealand will likely remember that, and the way NZ First has voted on this climate change issue, when they go to vote again in 2020.

Tena Koutou, In the following weeks the Queenstown Media Group is circulating our annual feedback survey. I hope you, our readers, can take a short 5 minutes out of your time to give us your honest thoughts and feelings about all the products we produce. We’d be asking you to place feedback on our two print publications, Lakes Weekly and Source magazine [both with Facebook and Instagram accounts] and three digital platforms, QTV, Queenstown App and JobFix. This annual survey has been critical to how we develop our publications and digital products for our audience. For example, by taking into account feedback from last year’s survey we’ve expanded. We purchased Source magazine, built out the Queenstown App and focused on evolving the Lakes Weekly. We’ve been growing our social media presence while maintaining the print editions for Source magazine and Lakes Weekly. Last year, we had positive responses about our colour in the Lakes Weekly, and from that, we’ve doubled our colour sections to include the front page and placed more colour throughout the publication including a double page spread of local photos.
‘What’s On’ sections are appearing in the Gig Guide, Community Notes [which is new] and the Arts and Culture pages [now a weekly piece for the last 18 months]. We’ve redesigned the classifieds into sections to make an easier read, renamed areas that you thought needed a better flow and feel. Source has undergone a facelift and the Queenstown App has moved to a much faster platform. There’s not a doubt that world media conglomerates Facebook and Google are hoovering up 90% of all new advertising revenues and delivering nothing locally in return – that’s a frightening reality for all local media, but yet through our supportive clients we’ve managed to keep our products free for you. We must continually transform and evolve to remain relevant to you, however, we need your feedback to do that. I hope you’d consider taking part in this survey because we value your honesty. To make this survey a little more compelling – by completing it, you’ll in the draw to win one of four $100 dining vouchers from our friends at threesixty restaurant in Crowne Plaza. So it wasn’t all for nothing, eh?!
Kai mihi, From the 2018 survey, you’ve asked for more ‘meaningful local’ Thank you in advance. content. This year, we’ve undertaken a number of features David in LWB, such as mental health, freedom camping as well as significantly increased local representation each week.
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK Your feedback is important to us... Take the Lakes Weekly Bulletin Survey and help us improve. It will take only 5 min. www.surveymonkey.com/r/lakesweeklysurvey2019 Be in with a chance to win one of four $100 vouchers for threesixty restaurant, Crowne Plaza!

Are you imploring your employer to plan early for a memorable Christmas party this year. Years past the work party used to start early on Thursday evening and extend well into the night. The company paid for everything. There was an unwritten rule that staff came to work a little later on Friday and left earlier. For the past few years they have been planned late and could have been better. “Christmas parties used to be great. Has yours become so dull that it’s not worth going to.” Queenstown businesses have a tradition of putting on great Christmas work functions to say thank you to the team in recognition of the hours put in, the great face the staff have provided to the customers and just the determination put into the year. 2019 should be no different and therefore we have put together some of Queenstown’s best venues but get in early as these will book out quickly.

Discover the wines of Cromwell By Marion Low, Cromwell & Districts Promotion Group Cromwell, Otago - Cromwell is full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered by wine connoisseurs and wine lovers alike. As the world’s southernmost and New Zealand’s only “continental” wine-producing region the Cromwell Basin is truly unique, and so is the wine that is produced here. Pinot Noir The Cromwell Basin is best known for its pinot noir. Vibrant, fruity, and smooth, pinot noir from this region is hailed as some of the world’s best. This year Ata Mara, Wild Earth, and Wooing Tree were awarded gold for their wines at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards. Chardonnay Chardonnays from the region are crisp and citrusy and pairs perfectly with lighter meals such as fish and poultry. There is nothing like enjoying a glass of chardonnay in the warm Central sun, gazing over the vines where the wine was grown. Domain Road Vineyard won gold for its 2017 Defiance Chardonnay at the 2019 Decanter World Wine Awards. Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling Although pinot and chardonnay are the most-planted grape varieties in the Cromwell Basin, the sauvignon blanc and rieslings that come from the region are also held in very high regard. Cromwell might owe its existence to the gold that was found in the hills and rivers surrounding it, but it is the exceptional wine, fruit, and other produce that is taking this beautiful Central Otago town into the future. To discover more about Cromwell’s wines, go to cromwell.org.nz
Thursday’s Speedway Promises To Be One Out Of The Box Speedway on a Thursday is not the normal, but then again, this Thursday’s meeting at Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Speedway on the outskirts of Cromwell promises to be one out of the box with racing from 5pm. First off, 22 of the country’s top saloon drivers will be competing in round one of the 2019 Holden Trade Club Saloon Speedweek, arguably the toughest series on the speedway calendar. A four consecutive days endurance challenge that stretches driver skills and fitness, and the ability of crews to fight the fatigue of all night rebuilds and repairs. Next up, New Zealand’s and now Central Otago’s own WRC star Hayden Paddon will be demonstrating the Crosskart, a new class of dirt racer he’s introducing to New Zealand. European WRC drivers use these 750cc lightweight (300kg) rear engine fliers to practise their gravel sliding skills. It was while driving a CrossKart that Hayden could see their potential in New Zealand as a fast, exciting and relatively inexpensive race car for hill climbs, auto cross, car club events and very possibly speedway. On Thursday Hayden and spectators will see just how the CrossKart performs on the 500 metre Central Motor Speedway track. There’s also a chance Hayden will get behind the wheel of a sprint car for his first ever drive of speedway’s fastest class. Speedway promoter Jason Scott reports there will be at least 14 sprint cars racing on Thursday evening with other support classes to keep everyone entertained.

To 5G, or not to 5G The ubiquitous cellphone. To those of us who are a little older, it’s science fiction made real, and pocket sized! To those of us who are a little younger, it’s hard to imagine day-to-day life without it. But either way, the cellphone - as technology goes - is old, it’s been around more than 35 years. But it’s also constantly new. Through the decades it’s been continually enhanced and improved, redesigned and reimagined. The latest reimagining is the 5th generation (or 5G) of cellular technology. In development for years, the first large scale deployment of 5G was in South Korea, in April of this year. In New Zealand, Queenstown has been recognised as being on the leading edge and - along with Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch we’ll be amongst the first Kiwis to have access to a 5G network. So what does that mean, other than yet another reason to have to upgrade your phone? Well first, 5G is fast. Your cellphone will be able to deliver data at speeds comparable to, maybe even faster than, the best fibre broadband. And it’ll be responsive, with exceptionally low latency times. (If internet speed is like the top speed of a car, then consider latency to be a measure of acceleration, how fast the car gets from standing still to flat out). And it’ll be reliable - many more individual connections can be supported, without any loss in connection quality or dropped calls. These attributes will improve many of the traditional uses for our phones, but combined open the door to a host of new ones. For instance, amongst the first to sign up to 5G are the emergency services. Ambulances would be able to stream reliable, rich medical data from a patient to the hospital, while still in transit. And it will also enable brand new uses, such as managing vehicles in traffic to prevent congestion, or car safety systems - especially autonomous vehicles - to avoid collisions. And just like every ‘G’ before the fifth, some folks are examining it for possible safety concerns. As indeed they should, but the good news is that suggestion of hazard seems extraordinarily few and far between, and even that little doesn’t seem to survive scrutiny. While there are some very knowledgeable and well intentioned folks who are worried, none of their peers seem to find their concerns particularly persuasive, with every expert body - from the World Health Organisation through to Consumer New Zealand - deeming 5G to be safe.

What excites me will be seeing the creativity of our communities unleashed. I don’t know exactly what 5G will enable, in the hands of our creators and inventors, but I look forward to finding out. AJ Mason Erstwhile astrophysicist, geek-in-residence, usual suspect

Arts+Culture Music’s in the family: The Maes “You think you’re rebelling against your parents, but you basically end up just being the same.” Contemporary folk duo The Maes is the brainchild of Maggie Rigby and her sister Elsie. the pair were born into a musical family – Maggie was just a few weeks old when she attended her first gig and the sisters grew up participating in choirs organised by their parents (both were singers and folk musicians). As hard as the pair have tried to be different, their parents’ influence is apparent. “I can’t believe how much this interview is ending up being about my parents,” laughs Maggie as she talks about their latest project, One More Chorus, a community choir. “Our parents ran choirs when we were kids. We grew up around choirs and we resisted starting one… but we couldn’t help it. People singing together, man, that’s a such a special thing! The choir has really grown wings and now it can’t fit in the hall.” When they’re not organising choirs, the sisters tour the world playing their award-winning contemporary folk sounds. A mix of British, American and Australian folk influences, the Melbourne-based duo were once a trio, but cellist and founding member Anita Hillman left a couple of years ago. Touring and writing as sisters has brought the family folk influence back into The Maes and their self-titled 2019 album is markedly different to earlier albums.

“To an outside observer, I suppose we’re similar [to our parents], we didn’t move away from folk music – but to me it is different. I found my own voice and tried to make The Maes not about family, but in the last couple of years… we can see it’s come from our roots.” The Maes will head to Queenstown next month (14th December, Sherwood Queenstown), accompanied by Arrowtown original and Tuiwinning singer-songwriter Holly Arrowsmith. “We first came across Holly at the Auckland Folk Festival earlier this year. We spent a lot of time hanging out and playing Bananagrams. She’s delightful to tour with and sing with – I could do it anytime. “We’ll also have Monique Clare on cello, performing the role of ‘band’. We’ll play guitar, mandolin, violin, sing and tell stories.” Maggie adds that they’re looking forward to the tour, including playing in Queenstown for the first time (“I don’t think we’ve been to Queenstown before, I say ‘think’ because we toured NZ with our parents eleven years ago and went EVERYWHERE.”). Gentle, conversational and folk-sy. Find out more about The Maes’s New Zealand tour at themaes.com.au.
Art News Call for forgeries and fakes An art competition offering more than $1,000 in prize monies is calling for all good art fakes and forgeries. Now in its 12th year, the Mangaweka Fakes and Forgeries Art Competition was inspired by world-renowned art forger Karl Sim (aka Goldie). Sim, who later changed his name to CF Goldie, was born in the Rangitikei township of Mangaweka and went on to become the first person to be convicted of art forgery in New Zealand. He painted, signed and sold copies of works by artists such as Charles F Goldie and Frances Hodgkins, passing them off as valuable originals. Celebrating their criminal alumni, the town of Mangaweka invites artists of any background to submit their fakes as part of an annual art competition. The main art exhibition is open to three groups: Adults, 16 years and under, and a special collective schools’ category. The theme is simple – create an exact replica, a copy with a twist or an artwork in the style of a famous artwork or artist. The competition and exhibition at the Mangaweka Gallery will take place on 30th November and the exhibition runs at the Yellow Church Gallery on State Highway 1 until 9th February 2020.

Anglican Parish Fundraising project As the founder of the Anglican Church in Queenstown, William Rees built a church in 1863 on the present site at 2 Church St.
Crack open a big bottle of community spirit this Christmas The Queenstown Trails Trust has launched their Corporate Gift Memberships in time for Christmas and they want you to spread the feel good vibes this festive season. More and more businesses want to practice their corporate social responsibility, so the Queenstown Trails Trust has come up with a meaningful gift that can benefit not only your team, but the wider community. A $5,000 donation will entitle your organisation with a Corporate Gift Membership and each of your employees will receive a gift pack including: + ID Tag for their bike or keychain + Supporter bike sticker
Later, in 1869, a new Vicarage was built, which is now the 2nd oldest wooden building in Queenstown, after the Williams Cottage on the waterfront.
+ Strava Team Access, where you team members can log km’s cycled, access the company leaderboard, win spot prizes and go on organised team rides, led by QTT CEO Mark Williams
A Sunday School building was built in 1905 being the current Hall. These two buildings are joined by an atrium forming the current Parish Centre.
+ Bonus feel good vibes knowing your organisation is supporting the Queenstown Trails Trust and helping to build more trails in our community
The generations have used and continue to use these two heritage buildings. They have wide use by the community, as well as the church itself, and as custodians of these buildings we have a duty of care to keep them maintained to ensure their longevity.
You may ask, why should I donate instead of giving a throwaway gift to my employees? Well not only will you and your employees feel proud to be part of a movement making cycling easier and safer in Queenstown, you will also be putting into practice your corporate social responsibility by giving a meaningful gift that benefits your team and the wider community. Further, by encouraging your team members to regularly cycle you are playing your part in creating a happier, healthier and more productive work force.
No major maintenance has been carried out for over 12 years, and it has been decided over the summer months to engage an experienced building team and painter, well versed in the intricacies of preserving Heritage buildings. The church is actively fundraising and proceeds for the Church Market Day on Saturday 23rd November will go towards this project.
