A large development including more than 700 new homes near Queenstown will be fast tracked for consenting.

The Te Putahi project at Lake Hayes has been approved under the Government's Covid-19 recovery act, one of three projects to be allowed to skip some of the usual RMA hoops you have to jump through.

748 houses will be built along with a park-and-ride public transport area and potentially a school.

New Queenstown Lakes mayor Glyn Lewers joined Kate Hawkesby.
