The Canyon restaurant building sits on the Bendigo site where it is proposed functions and occasional concerts will be held. PHOTO: SUPPLIEDConcerts for 4000 people could be hosted at a million-dollar development in a remote corner of Central Otago. It was also intended to host "infrequent" concerts at the venue, for up to 4000 people. Powell Fenwick did assessments for concerts of 4000 people or 8000 people, and said "larger/louder" events could "exceed notional boundary noise limits". Based on the site's remote location - the nearest neighbour was 900m away - and the infrequency of the concerts, concerts might "still be reasonable", with "appropriate controls".
