What happened
A 250-home housing scheme near Wānaka received fast-track approval. The project, which includes a childcare centre and two recreational reserves, is predicted to contribute $86 million to the local economy. The panel also accepted a proposal to limit visitor accommodation to 20 percent of the development.

Why it matters
The project is expected to support jobs both during construction and after the development is complete. The approval helps meet significant housing demand in the Wānaka area, while the limit on visitor stays aims to ensure the properties are primarily residential.
