Overview

Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) is the local authority for the Queenstown Lakes district. The District is currently experiencing significant and unpredicted population, traffic, residential and tourism growth. Projected visitor growth is significant. Long range forecasts predict that domestic visitors will double, and international visitors will nearly triple by 2026.

QLDC have recently undertaken a master planning process to identify and address the challenges facing the Queenstown Town Centre. The Masterplan is a 35-year vision that sets the direction for the future of the Town Centre. One of the outputs of the Masterplan was the identification of a need for additional car parking close to the Town Centre.

Access to the Town Centre is a major challenge with significant congestion on the arterial routes, very low use of public transport (noting some improvement since the introduction of $2 fares), inefficient parking and an ad hoc approach to passenger transport contributing to a very constrained and dysfunctional transport network. The state of this network supports car domination, and this is reducing the Town Centre’s ability to be a walkable, social and engaging area.

Improved parking solutions can support growth while also acting as a lever to encourage a much needed increase in public and active transport use. Parking facilities developed in the right places and managed in the right way can also help attract traffic to the town centre fringes, encouraging people to walk rather than drive to the town’s attractions.

The purpose of this RFT is to invite Tenders for a multi-disciplinary team of consultants to provide design and planning services for the construction of a new carparking building on the existing QLDC Boundary Street carpark site.
