Review of the Otago Southland Film Office underway

Review of the Otago Southland Film Office underway

After ten years attracting films, TV series and commercials to the south, the Otago Southland Film Office is being reviewed.

Queenstown Lakes District Council, which provides funding and office space for the Film Office, is leading the review.

According to Statistics NZ, film activity brings in over $20 million a year to the local economy. Mayor Vanessa van Uden said that the Council recognised this significant economic activity and the benefits that it brought to the district and the wider southern region.

“After ten years, we want to check that the Film Office has the right structure and sufficient resources to support this significant activity.”

The Council has released a discussion document and is inviting feedback from the film industry, stakeholders and the wider community.

Online feedback closes on 22 January 2016 at www.qldc.govt.nz under “consulting on”.
