Threats to Arrowtown addressed in guidelines: Submissions openAndrea Deuchrass Arrowtown's updated development guidelines are open for submission. The new Arrowtown Design Guidelines are intended to replace the old 2006 guidelines in the proposed Queenstown-Lakes District Plan and are open for submissions from Wednesday. Keeping the "historic character" and identifying potential "threats" to that character are the key objectives in the updated guidelines for Arrowtown's development. Arrowtown ward councillor Scott Stevens said the guidelines were in place to stop "an open slather of development" and he expected that "anti-development people of Arrowtown" would be in full support of the guidelines. supplied Arrowtown Design Guidelines split the town into "old'' and "new''.
