House hunters are a step closer to being able to buy into a large residential development in central Queenstown. Civil works are now under way at the old Whakatipu High School site on Gorge Rd as part of the new 300-home Te Pā Tāhuna development. Ngāi Tahu Property has appointed civil construction company Downer to carry out the new infrastructure work for the development, which includes 105 KiwiBuild homes. Ngāi Tahu Property general manager Blair Forgie said starting the civil works was an “exciting next step” towards building new homes for people in Queenstown. The Ngāi Tahu Property team, which was still in the design stages of Te Pā Tāhuna, was focused on delivering warm and comfortable homes, Forgie said.
