Queenstown-Lakes District
Queenstown-Lakes District, Administrative district in Otago Region, New Zealand
The Queenstown-Lakes District spans 8,719 square kilometers of mountains, lakes, and valleys in the southern region of New Zealand's South Island.
The district emerged in 1986 through the merger of Queenstown Borough Council with Lake County, establishing a unified administrative structure for the region.
The district integrates Māori principles of land guardianship through initiatives like the Mana Tāhuna Charitable Trust, which focuses on biodiversity restoration.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council provides monthly performance reports and maintains regular communication channels to keep residents informed about local developments.
The district manages three major lakes - Wakatipu, Wānaka, and Hāwea - while supporting a population density of 6 people per square kilometer.
