PHOTO: ALAN CUTLERConsent compliance investigation is under way after Wanaka residents and the Department of Conservation complained about erosion in Rockabilly Gully. The Queenstown Lakes District Council owns the stormwater discharge assets. The Northlake discharge travelled through Exclusive Developments land, into the reserve, down the Rockabilly Gully and into the river. Department of Conservation senior community ranger Nicole Sutton said Doc was working with the councils regarding track damage and erosion. Queenstown Lakes District Council communications spokesman Sam White said two district council teams were working on the case.
