The Wanaka lakefront log cabin is moved on the back of a truck from its previous lakefront site (bottom left, during the December 2019 flood) to its new site in Riverbank Rd (bottom right). The log cabin was purpose-built 23 years ago to house hire equipment and to allow boating businesses to operate from the lakefront. His 20-year council lease on the lakefront site expired in 2017 and he had renewed it on a monthly tenancy arrangement. In May, the Wanaka Community Board granted Lakeland Wanaka a lakeside reserve licence to operate on the same Roys Bay land formerly occupied by the log cabin. Mr Stewart said he planned to renovate the log cabin into a three-bedroom home.
