Peter has been guaging what locals think of the billion dollar Australian development, Lakeview and whether it belongs in Queenstown. Also the picturesque town is often is often referred to as a "Resort" by people and media from elsewhere in NZ,  but many residents don't see it that way amid a belief that the the local economy must diversify away from tourism to other types of business. And worker accomodation in Queenstown and Wanaka remains in serious short supply.
