How great to see the snow last week and have our winter season underway. With school holidays now started we are welcoming more visitors from Australia and New Zealand and it’s awesome to have the streets buzzing. This latest dump of snow has been vital for our reputation as the Southern Hemisphere’s premier ski destination, crucial for tourism and the economy.
Destination Queenstown’s (DQ) focus is on both destination marketing and destination management, and some of you may have seen the news last week that Lake Wānaka Tourism and DQ have announced they will work more closely together under a new streamlined shared services model.
The objective is to create greater opportunities and efficiencies for both Regional Tourism Organisations while ensuring both destinations retain their unique brands. The shared services model does not advocate for amalgamating the two RTOs, but instead focuses on generating more value by getting rid of duplication and supporting efficiencies, while retaining independent governance and operations. It will lead to shared expertise rather than doubling up on key capability areas and greater economies of scale to maximise resource across the organisations.
Afterall, as sister regions, more can be achieved by working together and taking a collaborative approach and since the development of the region’s destination management plan, Travel to a Thriving Future, DQ and LWT have been working closer than ever before. The plan focuses on ensuring tourism contributes to a thriving community, not only economically but socially, culturally and environmentally.
The inclusion of destination management work by RTOs means that the wider community, whether directly related to tourism or not, stand to benefit from the initiatives. Tourism is the region’s key economic driver and as such nearly all local businesses benefit either directly or indirectly from the visitor economy. For example, a car rental company directly benefits from the visitor economy while the local mechanic, panel beater and tyre shop, indirectly benefit.
But the shared services approach is about more than just Wānaka and Queenstown working together, it’s about how we deliver the DMP in alignment across the whole district, being efficient in implementation as we work toward the goal of regenerative tourism by 2030.
One of the keystone projects from the DMP is a groundbreaking project to understand optimal visitation in the Queenstown Lakes, which kicks off this month.
Visitors have an economic, social, cultural and environmental impact on the district and this project will build a model that helps to predict those impacts and understand the intersection between different elements. Queenstown Lakes is a high growth district with a small resident population and high visitor numbers, understanding the implications of visitation is essential for making good decisions and achieving positive outcomes to meet the needs of the community.
Mat Woods, Chief Executive, Destination Queenstown
Shotover Primary School Year 3 team SPS Penguins were one of 68 teams who played in a netball festival at Queenstown Events Centre on Saturday and Sunday. The junior teams, aged 8-12, played three games each at the event, sponsored by Harcourts, with prizes for best dressed team.
Let’s talk about the next ten years.
The LTP sets out Council’s workplan for the next ten years, how we propose to pay for it and what it means for the rates you pay.
The draft Long Term Plan 2024-2034 (LTP) is out now and Councillors want to hear from you before they adopt a nal plan.
CHAT TO A DECISION-MAKER
Year one of the draft plan proposes an average rates increase of 15.6%.
This plan’s focus is to get the basics right first.
Everything we do costs more to deliver and apart from rates, councils have limited ways to fund the services and facilities our communities need now and in the future.
The Mayor and Councillors will be out and about at markets and pop-up consultation sessions during July. Scan for dates and times.
The LTP affects everyone, so read up on the proposals, chat to a Councillor and make a submission before 28 July 2024
NEWS IN BRIEF
Cyclist dies in crash
Police are appealing for dashcam footage and witnesses after another fatal accident in Queenstown Lakes. A cyclist died at the junction of SH84 and Anderson Road, Wānaka, on Saturday afternoon. Emergency services were called to the scene at about 3.50pm. The cyclist died at the scene. “The Serious Crash Unit has examined the scene and enquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing,” a police spokesperson says. “Police would like to hear from anyone who might have witnessed the crash, or who might have dashcam footage.” If you can assist, please get in touch via the 105 service and quote event number P059269528. It’s the second fatal accident in the district in as many weeks. Simran Shiuagani Mala, 25, and Jamie William Pitman, 35, both of Frankton, died when their car collided with a Millbrook van on Malaghans Rd on Thursday, 27 June. And a person was helicoptered to Dunedin Hospital with serious injuries after a two-vehicle crash near the Kelvin Heights turn off on SH6 Queenstown on Wednesday evening, which caused traffic jams across Frankton.

Chomp sinks teeth into Australia

Queenstown tech startup Chomp Food Safety is expanding its focus in Australia, with co-founder Paul Wilson relocating to Queensland. Wilson, a veteran of the resort’s hospo scene, launched the user-friendly digital food safety management software back in 2016. It helps chefs streamline food safety practices in their kitchens, recording tasks like temperature monitoring, cleaning, cooling hot food, pest control, and corrective actions. It has been seen as one of the rare successes of the burgeoning Queenstown tech scene, recognised at the 2020 MPI Annual Awards. Co-Founder and CEO Irik Anderson says Australia’s food scene is diverse and the penalties of non-compliance are huge. “By establishing a physical presence in Australia, we can better understand the unique challenges faced by kitchens there. We’re excited to have Paul leading Chomp’s expansion efforts on the ground and contributing to a safer and more efficient foodservice industry across Australia.”
Avalanche ready
As snowfall increases across the South Island, the NZ Avalanche Advisory (NZAA) has begun its forecasting for the winter season across all 13 alpine regions. NZ Mountain Safety Council (MSC) is encouraging backcountry users to get ‘avalanche ready’. “Our team of forecasters are starting regional forecasting to ensure that backcountry skiers and snowboarders can begin building a picture of the conditions in the backcountry, which will help them venture out safely,” MSC Chief Executive Mike Daisley says. In Queenstown the current avalanche danger is low. “That does not mean NO avalanches”, the status reads. “Safety never takes a holiday. Narrow, steep terrain and confined bowls will need careful evaluation before choosing to ski/ride.” Visit www.avalanche.net.nz to plan ahead.
Winter influx through ZQN
By Paul Taylor
Some 666,000 passengers are expected to pass through Queenstown Airport over the next three months, with the 2024 ski season now properly underway.
ZQN expects 230,000 passenger movements a month (arrivals and departures) in July and August and then about 206,000 in September.
Australian families began arriving late last week to be greeted by a welltimed snow dump, allowing ski fields to open more runs. That includes the new Shadow Basin chairlift at The Remarkables, which officially opened on Friday, although only for experts.
The skifields and the airport are expected to be busy over the next fortnight, with the New Zealand and New South Wales school holidays, although other Australian states have their holidays over different dates.
“The terminal is full, but we love welcoming people for winter holidays, and we’re well-prepared,” Chief Operating Officer Todd Grace says.
“Late last year, we completed a Master Plan that includes an extension to the terminal. That’s definitely needed, and we’re working on the details now, but in the meantime, we are tackling smaller projects to make best use of the space we already have and to improve customer experience.”
Provenance, a new café and bar, has just opened near the front entrance, while the international departure lounges has new furniture, providing seating
for an additional 60 people, as well as workstations and extra charging points.
The furniture in the domestic departures lounge has also been refreshed.
The hassle and delay of taking laptops, iPads and other large electronics out of bags could soon be over for many passengers, thanks to state-of-the-art screening technology, which is currently being used for selected domestic flights in the fourth passenger screening lane.
For arrivals, changes to the processing of passengers arriving from Australia are being trialled by the border agencies. The introduction of a biosecurity screening point before baggage collection has reduced queuing and sped up processing times. The trial will continue until 31 July to really test it with peak passenger numbers. If that goes smoothly, the new procedures are likely to become permanent.
And there are now screens in the baggage claim areas that advise when the first and last bags from a flight have been put on the conveyor belt.
Airlines have boosted capacity for winter. Sundays will be busiest, with 61 flights scheduled.
Meanwhile, Queenstown Airport Corporation is also splashing $20 million on a new safety measures to stop planes that overshoot the runway. Read more about that on lwb.co.nz or the Queenstown App.
Tourism numbers under the microscope
How many tourists should Queenstown Lakes welcome each year?
That’s the question facing a team of researchers from Griffith University as they begin a project to create an ‘optimal visitation model’.
They’ve been appointed by Destination Southern Lakes (DSL) Board, who manage the region’s high profile Carbon Zero by 2030 destination management plan, which focuses on regenerative tourism.
The research team includes Professor James Higham, who was one of the academics who recently spoke out against plans for a massive new international airport in Tarras, Central Otago.
“At present, there are no comprehensive models that can guide and establish variables in relation to the social, cultural, environmental and economic limits of visitation levels,” Strong says.
“Queenstown Lakes is a high growth district with an economy that is dominated by tourism. With a small resident population and high visitor numbers, understanding the implications of visitation is essential for making good decisions and achieving positive outcomes to meet the needs of the community.”
Tourism remains the backbone of the Queenstown Lakes economy and contributes significantly to regional GDP. But, with rising rates and no local economic model to pass some of the costs of council infrastructure on to the tourists who use it too, there’s been growing animosity locally towards the bums-on-seats mass tourism model.
Strong says visitors have a social, cultural and environmental impact on the district, as well as economic. The DSL board believes this project will build a model that helps to predict those impacts and understand the intersection between different elements.
“Visitation in the district needs to be analysed in conjunction with residential growth, community sentiment, worker experience, visitor experience, seasonal changes, environmental degradation/regeneration and cultural context.
“This project is integral to taking a ‘systems approach’ towards destination management and supporting sustainable economic growth.”
The team of researchers will be led by globally recognised experts Professor Susanne Becken, Professor James Higham and Professor Oz Sahin, supported by FreshInfo’s Shane Vuletich.
The model could eventually be shared with other destinations across New Zealand, and around the world, to support regenerative tourism ambition. Queenstown Lakes District Council has managed the procurement process on behalf of DSL, and alongside the district’s regional tourism organisations Destination Queenstown and Lake Wānaka Tourism, will be part of the steering group overseeing the project.
The steering group has coordinated a project team to lead this with work commencing in July.
CRIMELINE
Party drugs seized at Mardi Gras
Police removed a number of partygoers at last weekend’s Mardi Gras event with controlled drugs, including MDMA, other substances being sold as MDMA, and cannabis, but overall behaviour was good.
More than five thousand people attended the event and Alcohol Harm Prevention Officer Sergeant Simon Matheson says Police detained a number of people, aged from 18 to 28, who had been searched by security staff as they entered the Queenstown Events Centre. Various amounts of drugs were seized, with each case dealt with depending on the circumstances with the culprits detained and handcuffed by Police and refused entry or re-entry. No arrests were made.
Late night joy ride in stolen vehicle
A 28-year-old man was charged after a late-night joy ride over the Crown Range on Friday, 28 June, in an alleged stolen vehicle. Community and Youth Constable Amanda Shute says the male allegedly stole an unlocked vehicle from Camp Street, driving it from Queenstown over the Crown Range to Wānaka where he was spotted allegedly travelling at 181km/hr along Riverbank Road. He then parked at the waterfront and decamped from the vehicle on foot before being located shortly after by Police and arrested just before midnight. He has been charged with driving a motor vehicle at a dangerous speed, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and is due to appear back in the Queenstown District Court on 29 July.
Drink driving: 19 July
A 41-year-old Central Otago man allegedly blew 970mcg per litre of breath after being stopped by Police locally and breath tested just after 11pm last Wednesday. He was issued with a 28-day suspension notice and will appear in the Queenstown District Court on July 19, charged with driving with driving with a breath alcohol level over 400mcgs.
A 40-year-old Queenstown man was charged that day, after undergoing an evidential breath test at a checkpoint shortly after 5.30pm. He allegedly blew a level of 479mcg and will appear in the court on 19 July.
Slow down at roadwork sites
Police are asking motorists to be mindful of roadworkers and slow down with a number of different roadworks projects underway around Queenstown. Otago Lakes Central area road policing manager Sergeant Steve Watt says roadworkers have a right to feel safe at work. “We do constantly get people speeding through the roadworks – at 50 and 60km/hr in a 30km/hr zone,” he says. “Obviously there’s a speed limit and they’re whipping past leaving these roadworkers feeling pretty vulnerable.” He’s urging drivers to be courteous. “They’ve got a job to do,” Watt says. Contractors have been doing a good job keeping roads safe.

COMMUNITY NOTES
Helping construction get greener
Recently, Queenstown Lakes District Council launched its climate action plan including the goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 44% by 2030.
Across Aotearoa New Zealand, the building sector contributes 20% of our emissions. To support these businesses and organisations in the Lakes District to meet these goals, Wao Aotearoa formed The Better Building Working Group in 2018.
The Better Building Working Group vision is partnership and collaboration with the sector and it is excited to bring to Queenstown the CEO of the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC), Andrew Eagles, to an evening discussion that’s open to the public and industry for only $5. Eagles and an expert panel will discuss key elements and global drivers for change and the steps we can all take to deliver a built environment that delivers a better future for Aotearoa.
Discussions will include:
• The builders and architects leading with great projects
• The uptake of green verified homes and buildings that is increasing with schemes such as NABERS, Homestar and Green Star which has seen a five-fold increase in the last four years
• Sustainable finance which is coming to the fore providing lower interest development finance and mortgages for buildings that are verified as green
• Listed property firms that are leading with lower carbon buildings and reducing the impact of their existing stock
• Government has also signalled that regulatory change is coming
The way we build our buildings and homes is five times our carbon budget at present. We are sending tonnes of waste to our landfills with every build, and we are missing great opportunities to improve health and well-being.
Wao’s Better Building Working Group invites the construction industry and interested locals to hear from Andrew Eagles at what is sure to be an industry-leading discussion that’s not to be missed. Tickets are $5 (+ booking fees from Humanitix) or use the QR code.
When: Tuesday, 16 July, 5pm - 6.30pm
Where: Canyon Brewing, 1 Arthurs Point Road, Queenstown

Flash new-look Queenstown Primary School launched
By Sue Fea
Queenstown Primary School’s $1 million-plus property redevelopment was officially opened last week after two years of hard work, but it’s straight back to fundraising a further $400,000 for the remaining projects in the school’s 10-Year Plan.
About 50 invited guests, including Southland MP Joseph Mooney, Ministry of Education officials, Queenstown Lakes Mayor Glyn Lewers, Māori leaders and former school families, were welcomed to the 2 July launch with principal Fiona Cavanagh performing the karanga. The school’s Central Otago Lakes champion Kapa Haka group performed before guests who were given a tour by head students.
Last Thursday (4 July) all parents and those interested were offered tours of the new-look school after another mini-ceremony where Cavanagh spoke. Year 5 students served up delicious, free veggie soup as well.
The redevelopment includes 10 new classrooms, repurposed from Wakatipu High School and fitted out for primary school use, a new junior playground based around a pirate ship, whānau room with cooking facilities, sandpit, AstroTurf surfaces and upgraded hard courts.
The new double-glazed classrooms have replaced 10 old sub-standard, single-glazed ones. Cavanagh says the redevelopment has all been thanks to funding from Aotearoa Gaming Trust, Central Lakes Trust and the Community Trust of Southland, with funds also contributed by the school board and Ministry.
“In the 10 years that I have been leading QPS, many Boards of Trustees have planned for substandard buildings to be replaced and for the site to be more child friendly,” Cavanagh said, at the opening.
In 2022 the Ministry approved the new relocatables from Wakatipu High School to become permanent fixtures, opening the way for the redevelopment.
The board and school leaders are wasting no time. The ‘QPS Project’ fundraising initiative was also launched at the opening, in the hope of raising
a further $400k by 2027 to complete the school’s 10-year-Master Plan. This next development phase will incorporate a strong cultural narrative, in keeping with the Māori heritage of the school grounds – once a wetland and important food gathering place for mana whenua.
A base has been set in the grounds to create a celestial compass that, in time, will signal puaka, the Matariki star seen from the site, Cavanagh says. A waharoa will adorn the school entrance gates from the new front staircase. A bike track and hopefully a new senior playground, along with other outdoor upgrades, will also be part of the ‘QPS Project’.
Queenstown’s oldest state primary school, Queenstown Primary, which opened in 1975, celebrates its 50th anniversary on 29 April next year with a date yet to be set for the celebrations. Cavanagh’s hoping many past pupils will attend.

NOEL COUTTS
Queenstown’s legendary ‘Rockacowblues’ crooner
Music runs through the veins of the Coutts family line, but it took some wild teenage tamperings and a few risky adventures for long-time Queenstown musician Noel Coutts to find the right note.
That was more than 50 years ago and since then he’s launched five albums featuring his own songs, playing guitar and performing in the UK, Poland –his second home, and New Zealand. He’s also multi-tasked as Manager-Dad taking his three kids - 16, 14 and 12, on tour through the US.
Raised in Paekakariki, the son of a Wellington dance band pianist, Noel “ran wild” after high school, joining a bikie gang and getting into trouble with the law before heading to the high country to work on stations. After a stint in Australia, he joined a ship bound for Hong Kong – one of seven crew of different nationalities, the only one who spoke English. “The Vietnam War was happening, and we transported arms from China to the war in East Pakistan (Bangladesh).” Dodgy work.
In England, after a stint on ships in the North Sea, he began performing music, with his future Kiwi wife, Julie, and a Frenchman. Working for a shearing gang on the likes of the then massive Hakataramea Station, Noel had picked up the guitar for parties, but in England he found his niche. “We were 1970s hippies living a commune of abandoned council flats in London for free rent. There was lots of music, sex, drugs and rock n roll.” However, the lifestyle took its toll, so Noel built a house truck and they escaped to Norwich before heading home through the Middle East and Asia, Noel contracting hepatitis along the way.
Eldest son Stephan was born back in New Zealand where Noel first worked on the Manapouri dam. They then scraped together the money to buy and renovate an old Invercargill house, the first of many. Noel joined two others there, including Maaki Goodwillie, performing at pubs and parties. “For a while our name was ‘Out Of Our Trio’, then on a gig in Queenstown we became ‘Cecil Peak and The Remarkables’, he grins. In 1987 they moved their four little kids to Queenstown where Noel found his musical family in the likes of drummer Kevin Thomas and guitarist vocalist Dean Hetherington. Noel also played Skyline where he’s been a popular entertainment fixture for decades and still performs solo today, his unique style, dubbed ‘Rockacowblues’, still in as much demand as ever.
The Coutts name has been synonymous with the Queenstown music scene since then, daughter Jessie first hitting the stage at 10, the following year performing a duo with 9-year-old brother Oliver. Little brother Joseph picked up the short scale guitar at seven. “He could hardly lift it, but he had the right timing, just not the notes,” Noel says. “Ned Webster helped him a lot.” By 16 Joseph was rocking it with Dad’s band. The kids’ teenage band, ‘3 of a Tribe’, became Queenstown’s Partridge Family, performing gigs at local skifields and Winter Festivals before Noel found them sponsorship to tour
My Life Story
US schools, through Queenstown’s Sister City Aspen. “I was musical director, driver, father and cook!” They were billeted out in smalltown Ohio and played in Cincinnati and Las Vegas before hitting the big time in Memphis, Tennessee. “Elvis Presley changed my life, so I took them to Graceland and Sun Studios where I met the producer who was interested as they were so young.” The kids recorded at Sun and Noel contemplated moving the family to Memphis. “Then I found out it was ‘check your guns in at the door’!”
In 2007 an old friend who was touring Porgy and Bess with opera company New York Theatre and Arts asked Noel, then doing gigs in NZ, to fill in for a cast member as a ‘mean old southern Sheriff’. “I’d never done opera, but she said I looked as mean as hell, so I toured with them.” That led to an invitation to tour Eastern Europe with the show, joining the cast in Philadelphia. “We played with the best orchestras in the world and in Warsaw on the last night of the season I found myself at a party in the flutists’ dressing room.” Here Noel met and fell in love with Polish wife of 14 years Ela, a highly qualified and accomplished flutist for the Polish National Opera Orchestra. Noel proposed soon after and ever since they’ve spent back-to-back summers between Queenstown and Poland where he’s teamed up with talented musicians. “Poland’s been good to me musically.”
Noel’s latest album – ‘Noel Coutts and The Hetheringtons – The Empire Sessions’, was recorded in the West Coast’s Empire Hotel in Ross, the album sponsored by the publican. It features ’29 Ghosts’, Noel’s moving tribute in honour of the lost Pike River miners, a friend’s son among them – a song that earned Noel an audience with the Prime Minister.

Cook your way around the world
by Jess Allen
"Just like cooking with friends" – that’s how Happiness House’s Coordinator Steph Burbidge describes their free bi-weekly Cook Around the World classes. Held on Tuesdays, they open up their kitchen to anyone wanting to learn to cook an international cuisine. There’s one person from the community directing each class – next week’s event will showcase Indian food. The classes, which kicked off in April, are held in partnership with the Kiwi Kit Community Trust and with funding from Te Hau Toka Southern Wellbeing Group. Inspiration was sparked at last year’s Te Atamira Matariki celebrations, where different cultural communities were invited to host a cultural dinner. Some of the cuisines covered so far include Scottish, Korean, French and Mexican – never fear if you’ve missed out, they’re not opposed to doing a cuisine more than once.
"It was super cool to see how many people were really embracing the dinner and wanting to learn from our diverse communities about their culture,” Burbidge says. “We realised a lot of that cultural exchange really opens up when there’s food involved. The idea for us was realising how many different communities we have represented here in Queenstown – so many of them are doing things within their community, but not everyone gets to see that.”
Happiness House has a lot of connections to different communities around the region and wanted to offer a platform to showcase the different groups. Initially they had been liaising with Queenstown Lakes District Council’s Welcoming Communities to make contact with the groups. The hope is to allow people to connect, learn something new and bond over food. Recipes are designed to be easy, and they encourage those participating to replicate them at home and share with friends and family. So far, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with class numbers continuing to grow.
“The feedback from those that have hosted is that they’ve really enjoyed the community connection and have been really blown away by how much enthusiasm there is for people to learn about their culture, but also learn about what food means to them and how they’ve had that connection to food when they’ve been growing up in their culture.
“For the people who have been involved in it and coming along, a lot of them have said how blown away they are at being able to see so many people just communicating and connecting, and the freedom that food provides us; creating those connections with people.”
Burbidge is keen to continue the classes and represent as many of the communities around Queenstown as possible. She’d also love to get more members of the community on board who would like to host a class. For
those wanting to get involved in teaching, you’ll be walking into a warm and welcoming environment. No over the top preparation is required and it’s not a stressful or intense experience – the team at Happiness House can help to guide you in the running of the class.
“It’s just like welcoming a few extra people into your kitchen and sharing what food means to you. We’d really love to hear from more communities and have them approach us to get involved. Happiness House is really a community centre for everyone – come in, join in, enjoy and get connected to the community,” Burbidge wraps up.
Happiness House’s Cook Around the World events happen every other Tuesday. The next one is happening on Tuesday, 16 July, followed by 16 August with Chile. They run from 10am – 1pm and registration is required. You can find the registration form, get more info or get involved and host a class with your own cuisine by heading to their website happinesshouse.org.nz

Desde temprana edad, Victoria Bálsamo, oriunda de Paysandú, Uruguay, descubrió que el movimiento y el baile la hacían conectar con sus emociones. Fue así como de a poco esta disciplina se fue transformando en lo que ahora es su pasión.
La historia de Victoria con la danza se remonta a su niñez, cuando a los nueve años inició estudios de gimnasia artística. Y ya en su adolescencia, a los 16, empezó con clases de ballet.
En su siguiente etapa de vida, se mudó a Montevideo donde además del ballet, sumó clases de baile contemporáneo y paralelamente estudios de Diseño de Moda. A los 22 años “formé parte de una compañía de danzas de estilos urbanos, en la que fui entrenada por un año entero para formarme en danzas urbanas y dar una obra de 45 minutos, en el Teatro Solís de Montevideo”.
La extrovertida y energética personalidad de Victoria, la han impulsado desde siempre a probar nuevas experiencias y formas de expresión. Deportista y dinámica desde pequeña, constantemente se impone nuevos desafíos que con gran disciplina y perseverancia logra cumplir.
De esta manera, no conforme con lo ya aprendido, integra a todos sus conocimientos una forma de baile donde la fuerza y sensualidad van de la mano: el pole dance.
En 2018 se mudó a Nueva Zelanda con la Working Holiday Visa y fue acá que continuó este deporte, llegando incluso a comprarse su propio pole (“barra”o “caño” como le dicen en algunos países) que instaló en su casa para seguir practicando.
“Ahora tengo más de 7 años de experiencia (en pole dance). Y el año pasado quise probar circo y empecé con mis estudios de aro aéreo. Hoy en día doy shows y diversas performances. Participé para el Latin Kiwi Festival dos años consecutivos, en No Trace Halloween Party en 2023, y además di un show de pole dance para Bungalow y Luma 2024”, comenta.
Pero la batería de Victoria aún tiene mucha carga, porque gracias a toda la experiencia que ha adquirido a través de los años, cuenta que “este año me sentí preparada para dar clases y compartir todo mi conocimiento. Particularmente elegí femme style & heels dance”. Según describe la bailarina, “estas clases están diseñadas para mujeres que quieran conectar con su lado salvaje, su fuerza de vida, expresar desde adentro hacia afuera y sentirse poderosas. Los hombres que se sientan cómodos bailando femenino, también son bienvenidos. Mi propósito es crear un grupo donde podamos sentirnos libres de expresión, fuera de juicio y que en un futuro poder mostrar nuestro arte al público. El uso de tacos profesionales de heels dance, es opcional”.
Las clases de Femme Style consisten en practicar distintas rutinas, incluyendo movimientos somáticos y freestyle. Para asistir no se necesita experiencia previa, sólo las ganas de bailar y atreverte a explorar tu lado sensual sin tapujos.

Conservation group secures $1m to continue work
By QMG
Southern Lakes Sanctuary has secured enough funding to continue its critical conservation work in the Queenstown Lakes District – but they’re not out of the woods yet.
The conservation consortium driving predator control, restoring wildlife and protecting biodiversity across its 660,000ha catchment area has recently secured over $1 million from a range of private funders, businesses, philanthropic groups and local government agencies.
Established in June 2021 as a result of the Jobs For Nature funding, Southern Lakes Sanctuary (SLS) has operated on $1.5m annually to coordinate and deliver major conservation projects throughout the region.
However, with the three-year programme coming to an end in June 2024, the consortium was at risk of collapse if funding wasn’t maintained. The team has spent the past year actively seeking contributors.
Its new backers include the Central Lakes Trust, AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, the Lotteries Commission, philanthropists including Sir Michael Hill and Rod Drury, and many others.
SLS project director Paul Kavanagh says: “The incredible achievements of the volunteers and our team members undertaking predator control are what attracts donors to support us.
“They recognise the importance of continuing our role to protect our local biodiversity.”
SLS will continue to rely on annual funding to ensure this important conservation work is undertaken for the future.
“Restoring the region’s natural biodiversity takes time and ongoing commitment. There’s a lot to do but with a great crew, a supportive community and rapidly advancing technology we are optimistic about what the future holds and how we can contribute to it,” Kavanagh says.
“By 2030, we aim to have removed more than 250,000 predators in total, while maintaining a network of 30,000 traps and support the return of endemic birds across Wānaka and Whakatipu areas.
“We hope that over the coming years it will become normal for anyone to see takahē wandering in the Rees Valley, hear a deafening chorus of birds at Bobs Cove and easily spot mohua and kea in the Matukituki Valley.”
Recent conservation outcomes include trapping of 37 feral cats at Mount Creighton Station across 20 nights via 10 live capture cages and dispatching more than 538 pests from 900 hectares in Bob’s Cove.
The team installed 110 AI-enhanced predator traps near Arrowtown and on the lower face of Coronet Peak, which have dispatched more than 3,000 possums and rats from 2,300ha, and they’ve removed 235 possums and rats from a small, 20ha area with just three traps on QEII National Trust-owned Remarkables Station.
They’ve established a 100km-long alpine trapline between Wānaka and Glenorchy to help conserve vulnerable species such as kea and pīwauwau (rock wren), and protected endangered mohua in Makarora from an impending rat plague through extensive trapping and monitoring.
Over three months last summer, crew and volunteers walked more than 190,000km collectively to regularly check traps and bait stations with more than 5,000 rats exterminated
