Conduct a safety assessment on the benefits of establishing navigational light beacons on prominent points around Lake Wakatipu to assist the safe navigation of vessels at night.

The Council is currently compiling hazard ID data for lakes and rivers in this area. Lakes Wanaka/Hawea have been completed, Wakatipu is still to be completed. As part of this process we will be looking at where it may be beneficial to install nav aids in the future.
Funding for such things as beacons or any navigational aids must be included in the Council’s Annual Plan process in which funding has already been set for the next two years, therefore we are limited as to what can be done for this period.
