The trees along Ladies Mile have immense value to the district. It takes 50 years to create an avenue of trees like that, and only a few days to move a power pole. The trees were there before the power lines were installed, move the power lines, don't cut the trees! Come on Delta management - show some social and environmental responsibility and do the right thing. Leave the trees. Move the power lines.

I know the vista that these trees create. It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to damage them.

Those trees are beautiful and are always make me smile when I come home driving from the airport to Arrowtown. Move the lines!

The trees are doing nothing other than what they should be doing. They make a beautiful entry into a fabulous little town and I think the power company is just taking the easy way out.

Im a frequent visitor to Queenstown. Alway love seeing these beautiful mature trees as I drive along. Many of them are actually fruiting chestnuts and over the years we have stopped off and gather some to take home and cook up - delicious! Agree that least intrusive options should be made. Let's all make sure that big business doesn't cut these beauties down.

This entrance to Queenstown needs to be safeguarded. It helps to maintain the rural beauty of the Wakatipu Basin. The more Queenstown spreads out in urban development, the greater risk there is to the rural landscape.

We need to protect our natural beauty as trees take many years to mature.

Because... Queenstown has changed from the lovely quaint town it once was and this would be yet another ugly nail in the creation of a landscape coffin

Trees were there before the lines. It would be a sin to spoil such beauty. Queenstown is losing its charm as more trees are cut down. A case of 'pave paradise put down a parking lot'

Because I agreed with Alan Brady's objection. The trees were there first.

Since when did any of you self righteous animal eating zealots give a toss about the environment?

The beautiful trees must stay where they are and the unsightly powerlines should be buried underground where they should have been put originally.

Save the trees - shift the power lines!

The almost out of control industrial and suburban growth in Queenstown and surrounding regions, MUST acknowledge and protect why tourists and NZ citizens wish to visit it.... because of it's ESTABLISHED NATURAL BEAUTY. That is why I visit, if it were to change anymore than it currently is, I have no desire to return.

Because I'm tired of trees having to give way when there are other solutions. Queenstown is stunningly beautiful. It needs to be protected!

It has been suggested to me that there is a perception by some that resource consents in this region seem to proceed with little consideration for the environment, I truly hope this is incorrect, as I have spent much time in this region since I was a child, and consider the area a national treasure, which should be protected. Regretfully however when issues like this occur the risk is it does little to dispel such perceptions. To remove those fantastic trees would be a great pity.

Why cut down trees just because no-one wants to pay for that?
Don't we pay rates to maintain them?

These trees need to be kept, there is too much new ugliness in Queenstown.
