#1532016-02-07 08:55The 29 trees re far more attractive in NZ's leaing tourist resort than 29 power poles. How ugly they are as opposed to trees. |

#1542016-02-07 08:55The trees need to be saved and we need to make sure their actual value is taken into account and not just delta or councils bottom line |

#1552016-02-07 09:10The trees provide a beautiful approach to Queenstown - their removal is short sighted. Move the power lines which should never have been put there in the first place. |

#156 Re:2016-02-07 09:59It would certainly be nice to retain these trees. Lets find out who is responsible for the cost of keeping them clear? If Delta are at fault for putting the cables there when they had no right too then they should pay (obviously that would come from our line & power charges). If not what about a Trust Fund to shift the power lines and keep the trees maintained. 1350 odd sidnatures so far at a $100 bucks each would surely go a long way towards the ongoing costs? |
Guest |
#1572016-02-07 10:02Those trees are such an iconic and integral part of the approach to Queenstown and the whole landscape. |
Guest |
#1582016-02-07 10:25Because I value their history and amenity value in my community. I treasure the sight of our Turkish immigrants harvesting the chestnuts as they fall. |
Guest |
#1592016-02-07 10:31The trees being non native is not an excuse, start with an inter planting program and review again in 5 years once natives are growing. |

#1602016-02-07 10:44I signed for the environment and for my children who deserve to see Queenstown with the Walnut trees on Ladies Mile because they are part of our history. It's time for QLDC to stop making decisions behind closed doors and actually listen to what the community want. |
Guest |
#1612016-02-07 12:06It would be absolutely criminal to take down these beautiful trees! |

#1622016-02-07 15:22I used to live in Christchurch but I just loved my time in Queenstown. Save those trees! |
Guest |
#1632016-02-07 17:39Queenstown's and the Lakes Region's rapid short-sighted development at the expense of future generations needs to hit the "pause button". We are fouling our own nest. |
Guest |
#1642016-02-07 19:27The trees were planted before delta put up their power lines. Common sense says delta created that tree problem themselves, they should fix it by relocating the lines...just need to trench and put power cables underground. |
Guest |
#1652016-02-07 19:28The natural beautify of the Wakatipu basin is the reason why people visit Queenstown. It's also why many of us choose to live here. The trees along Ladies Mile are a counter balance to Five Mile and Mitre 10 Superstore developments. |
Guest |
#1662016-02-07 19:49Delta need to take a long hard look at their proposal. This is surely a case of profit driven expectations rather than thinking about the enjoyment these trees give to both locals and our visitors. To trim the trees twice a year is no big hardship on their part. Put your lines underground, problem solved. |
Guest |
#1672016-02-07 21:10Extremely upset and angry that the council cares more about some wiring than these beautiful trees. Put the wires underground like civilised countries do, and leave the trees alone! |

#1682016-02-07 21:27We have areas marked outstanding natural landscapes that we quite rightly protect. These trees Mark an attractive roadside into queenstown. Cut them down and what have we got exposed powerlines. I understand not power companies problem. And understand high cost of shifting lines over. But that is the only answer or trim each year. Qldc needs to get overall strategy of what this town is about and where it is going. This issue is very important. The roading network needs strategic planning as how it is all going to link together to handle and distribute traffic. Whos doing that? Don't destroy what's charming about the place. The easy solution is chop the trees down but what are you left with ? where do you replant ? and then wait 30 years to grow. |

#1692016-02-07 21:31The trees look really nice as an entrance to queenstown. Even more so now that it is so spoiled along the Frankton flats. The scenery is what makes this place and more and more of it is being ruined. Killing the golden goose! |
Guest |
#1712016-02-07 23:55Because I think that the entrance to Queenstown along Ladies Mile would be bare compared to the way it is now - in all seasons the trees enhance the verge along this road and there is far too much disregard of green, living plants and trees along our highways - ever been to France and noticed how beautiful the avenues of trees entering a village or town are? |
Guest |
#1732016-02-08 00:03The Lower Wakatipu basin landscape is being spoiled by residential and commercial developments and an avenue of trees along both sides of Ladies Mile would add to the welcome and attractiveness of Queenstown. Instead of cutting down existing mature trees there needs to be more trees planted on both sides of this major road into town to create a full avenue. |

#1742016-02-08 00:14These trees have been a beautful landmark in qt for decades. Shame on u Delta and qldc. |
