A defined corridor of growth
Between Frankton and Lake Hayes, a connected new urban precinct is taking shape.
Clarke Group holds a strategic position across key landholdings at Ladies Mile, bringing masterplanning, infrastructure and staged development together.
The vision combines residential neighbourhoods, local amenity and open space. Realising that potential depends on coordinated water, wastewater and transport delivery, alongside council, infrastructure providers and adjoining landowners.

A new community taking shape
The details that matter
The proposal responds to the Te Pūtahi Ladies Mile planning framework and its vision for a connected urban neighbourhood. More homes close to transport, parks and everyday services support housing choice, frequent public transport and better use of infrastructure.
The proposal includes new precinct-wide wastewater infrastructure connecting to the Southern Corridor network via the Shotover Bridge. It does not rely on the existing local network remaining unchanged. Infrastructure delivery is coordinated with the wider Ladies Mile programme.
The precinct combines homes, local services and walking and cycling connections to reduce the need for some car trips. Occupation is proposed to be staged alongside key transport upgrades, including the signalised Stalker Road intersection.
Cycling is one part of a wider transport strategy, alongside roads, public transport and walking. Connected routes and secure storage provide a choice for short local journeys while residents retain vehicle access.
Some vegetation at 489 Ladies Mile will need to be removed to prepare the site for safe public access, infrastructure works and development. The existing planting includes exotic trees, shelter planting and ornamental species associated with the site’s former use.
The vision includes street trees, landscaped parks, green pedestrian connections and a mix of native and climate-appropriate species. Planting is intended to support biodiversity, shade and a cohesive neighbourhood character.
Queenstown Lakes District Council determines notification under the Resource Management Act. Clarke Group’s application is assessed within the Ladies Mile planning framework and the applicable environmental-effects tests.
