Lake safety

Keeping safe in the water is a focus for Queenstown Lakes District Council. The council is installing more signage on the use of ski lanes around the district after community feedback from a survey asking about ski lane zones and safety. Environmental monitoring and enforcement team leader Isabelle Logez said it’s essential people know how to be safe around ski lanes. The council would observe how ski lanes and nearby areas were used, educating lake users and taking enforcement action if needed.
