Plain-English summary
The Farien Trust seeks consent for a seven-lot rural subdivision at 478 Cardrona Valley Road, Wānaka. The existing dwelling would remain on one lot, while six vacant lots would each have a new residential building platform.
The proposal includes upgrades to shared internal access, earthworks and landscaping, using the existing crossing onto Cardrona Valley Road. It also seeks changes to consent notices across the six vacant lots. The rural site is within an identified Outstanding Natural Landscape, and the application includes assessments of landscape, infrastructure, geotechnical and environmental matters.
This is the publicly notified Farien application, RM260926. Public submissions close on 9 November 2026. Read the Form 12 notice on pages 2–3 of Part 1 for submission requirements, including serving a copy on the applicant and the restrictions concerning trade competitors.
Why it matters
The proposal would create six vacant residential lots alongside the lot retaining the existing dwelling on a rural property.
