#522016-02-05 20:00Surely the trees can be topped instead of cut down. A few years ago I was driving home from Canterbury and noted how gorgeous the trees lining the sides of the road were up there. They were trimmed to not affect the power lines. I got home to ours and they had been trimmed but only on the side affecting the powerlines. They looked dreadful compared to what I had seen earlier in the day. Just trim them properly all over so they are shaped nicely. Don't munt them like last time. Please. |

#532016-02-05 20:02This should not even be an issue - of course they must be saved. The Council should take responsibility for this. |

#542016-02-05 20:19Trees and reserving as much nature as we can is the only thing protecting our sanity from this potentially over-developing madness |
Guest |
#552016-02-05 20:20I would like to see other options explored and acted upon for the power lines. Leave the trees be - they are important. Thank you Milly |

#562016-02-05 20:27These trees are so beautiful. So many trees have been cut down around the region lately. Please don't allow them to be a fading memory |

#592016-02-05 20:53The whole Ladies Mile landscape corridor, from Amisfield to the Shotover, is the main entrance to New Zealand’s premier tourist destination and must be maintained to the highest standards. It should be managed jointly by QLDC and NZTA.
These bodys must develop a comprehensive landscape and management plan for the corridor in conjunction with the adjacent landowners. The aim would be to extend the avenue character, as in the Walker and Threpwood sections, along the entire corridor. Existing planting should be maintained and enhanced.
Most of these plantings are on private property. Mechanisms must be developed to manage and maintain these in partnership with the property owners.
Infrastructure that conflicts with landscape objectives should be moved to a maintainable position or placed underground.
Power lines have been placed underground on Frankton Flats in response to development. The development of our landscape brings an equal or greater economic value in a Wakatipu context |

#602016-02-05 21:38I believe that burying the cable would be a better long term solution. This could be crowd funded. |

#612016-02-05 21:53Trees are the life we breathe....they were here before humans!! Good luck Queenstown with keeping your beautiful trees. |

#622016-02-05 22:34I have lived here for 35 years and admire the trees each time l go past Once they are gone they will never be replaced, and the district will be the wall to wall housing that has already happened, just below them. Bury the lines and save the beauty !!! Is this really to much to ask in this if it moves shoot it, or if it doesn't cut it down age that we live in . |

#64 Shortsighted2016-02-05 22:56Yes it will cost but so does the thousands spent to create public art works, signage, and river stone traffic islands and curbs (and at present traffic cones) that constitute an entrance to a city/town. How about retaining the beautiful, natural, elegant, up to 50 year old trees that are already there? |
Guest |
#652016-02-05 23:06I have fond memories of the Queenstown that was and hopes for the the Queenstown that is and will be.Much ugliness has been laid upon a once pretty little town but beauty remains in the natural surrounds and in what's left of what once was. Let's not loose it. |
Guest |
#662016-02-05 23:07Beautiful old trees that ehance the area and feed the community. Why cut them down? |
Guest |
#672016-02-05 23:21As one of our biggest tourist destinations we need to do everything we can to keep it looking lovely. Underground powerlines would be a much better option |
Guest |
#682016-02-05 23:34These trees are beautiful and make a lovely entrance into Queenstown |
Guest |
#692016-02-05 23:46you cant cut down those beautiful trees on the gateway to queenstown, there must be a better solution We all need to go out there with our protest banners!!!!!!!!! |
Guest |
#712016-02-06 00:02Because these trees look great as you drive along Ladies Mile It is ludicrous to remove them. |
Guest |
#722016-02-06 00:03These trees are part of the stunning gateway to Queenstown and have become part of our heritage. |
Guest |
#732016-02-06 00:04Beautiful trees that help make the entrance to queenstown beautiful |
Guest |
#742016-02-06 00:39Because we need the trees, doubt the council will be replacing them away |
