Before today’s meeting, Queenstown mayor Glyn Lewers told Mountain Scene he’s not surprised the Alliance has come back to ask for more ‘‘because they did forewarn us’’. He does have questions, though, which will be covered in the ‘‘Alliance review’’. Lewers, though, believes the Alliance model was ‘‘probably the best procurement method available to us with regards to a project of this scale’’. ‘‘It’s all just on a cost basis with no profit margin for the Alliance. ‘‘This is mainly driven by providing infrastructure for the growth that we have,’’ Lewers says.
