Who remembers the Silverlight Film studio planned for Wanaka? It was a massive project offering ten sound stages, workshops, production offices, a film school, screening theatres, post-production facilities, back lots replicating international film locations (New York, Venice, European Cities etc), a lake, a medieval village, a banquet hall, a lake village and a replica of New York's Central Park.
The project received fast-track approval in December 2021.
I don't know why the Silverlight project failed, but it always seemed far too ambitious in scale. Now developers propose to transform the site with 240 visitor accommodation units, workers’ accommodation, two 18-hole golf courses, a driving range, a hospitality precinct and a hotel.
Because the world doesn't have enough golf courses.
