A golf-course, four-star hotel and up to 800 commercial and residential developments could soon replace what are now sheep paddocks in the Mt Cardrona Station special zone near the Cardrona township. Approval has been given for the process to start on a plan which could result in a 12-hole golf course being developed just outside Cardrona township. Mt Cardrona Station Ltd requested a plan change to the Mt Cardrona Station special zone, to allow a 12-hole golf course to be built about 2km north of Cardrona township. It will be publicly notified.Mt Cardrona Station owner Chris Morton said much work was still to be done but he was excited the process had started. "It’s not just a golf course, a hotel and some houses; it’s going to add value to the wider community as well."
