Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) hotel sector regional representative Brian Howie said the proposal was the latest addition to a list of hotel developments that had recently opened, were under construction or in the planning process. Winton Partners lodged a separate resource consent in November for road access to the site from the Lake Hayes-Arrowtown road. They have lodged three other proposals for the Waterfall Park-Ayrburn site since 2015, all of which have been rejected by the council.
