Queenstown-Lakes District Council

C-23-033 Planting Contractor for Coronet Forest Revegetation

In 2017, the Council approved the early harvest of 172 hectares of Douglas fir from the Coronet Forest. The Council resolution requires 145 hectares to be replanted in species native to the Whakatipu Basin in order to meet Emissions Trading Scheme and Resource Consent requirements.
The harvest began in December 2019 and is progressing well, with completion forecast early 2023.
This ROI relates to the short-listing of a Main Contractor by QLDC to manage, plan, and undertake revegetation works at the Coronet Forest.
