An attractive block
of subdivisible land within Wanaka is about to go on the
market for residential development.
Queenstown Lakes
District Council has resolved to release a 10.69ha block at
Scurr Heights that is already zoned for residential
development, and will put the land out to tender next month.
Its intention is that a developer will create a subdivision
of around 100 residential sections.
Deputy Mayor
Lyal Cocks said the Wanaka Community Board and Council
decided to release the land for sale now based on the public
demand for residential land and the desire to transfer the
value of this land to other significant community projects
or acquisition of other strategic land for the next
generation.
The land at Scurr Heights is on two
levels. Sections on the lower level will have mountain views
while those on the upper level will also see Lake
Wanaka.
Real estate firm Bayleys has been contracted
to manage the tender process.
