BUTEL PARK

Client: Meadow One Limited

Timing: 1995 – present

Description

Butel Park is a residential subdivision under development in Manse Road, Arrowtown between the existing industrial area and Millbrook Resort. Clark Fortune McDonald and Associates have been involved in the conception of this development since 1993, when the then owner Vivid Holdings Limited proposed to establish an equestrian centre and residential development on the site. Clark Fortune McDonald and Associates eventually developed a Meadow Park Zone through the Proposed District Plan process, resulting in a consent order from the Environment Court after extensive mediation. The Meadow Park Zone is a special zone designed to facilitate a comprehensive approach to retaining the urban fabric that makes Arrowtown unique, enhances visibility of outstanding natural features and enhances ecological restoration of adjoining vegetation. The subdivision itself is known as Butel Park.

Relevance

The development of the Meadow Park Zone demonstrates the exceptional skills of Clark Fortune McDonald and Associates in negotiating development proposals against all adversity (or various interests).

The implementation of the zone through the resource consent process demonstrates Clark Fortune McDonald and Associates ability to deliver a end product.

Track Record

Butel Park has been marketed as Arrowtown’s premier subdivision, in particular it’s linkages with Millbrook Resort. While it was the intent of the design of the subdivision to retain the essential characteristics that make up Arrowtown’s urban fabric, the site also lend itself to providing a up-market and exclusive development. Retaining Clark Fortune McDonald and Associates services after the sale of the subject site from Vivid Holdings Limited to Meadow One Limited in 2000 reflects our clients satisfaction with our services and advise. Further ongoing resource management consideration and surveying work have also been retained by Clark Fortune McDonald and Associates in a very competitive market.
