In an unexpected twist, criticism of Rod Drury's fast-track Queenstown gondola proposal has come from QLDC.
While the project is being sold as "public transport", the proposed routes exclude Fernhill...
@nprofile1q... The whole gondola in Queenstown thing has come up every few years for a long time now. A couple proposals got to the planning stage, but they never had a business case without closing public roads to force people to use them, and then charging a fortune and not running often, because they're extremely expensive to run on the distances needed around Queenstown.
It did not surprise me to see National fast-track it, because the numbers attached if only someone would pay for it, are huge.
