To raise funds for the defence of the historic zone in Arrowtown and to prepare evidence for the proposed council hearings

Otago

No Leaf Incorporated Society was established to give a voice to the residents of Arrowtown who objected to the Olive Leaf Centre Trust plans to establish a community centre on the land of St Patricks Church Arrowtown. The style and the size of the proposed building will over shadow the historic church of St Patricks and will cause the visual primacy of the old church to suffer.

The proposed building is a modernist style and is incompatible with the Queenstown Lakes District Plan, The Arrowtown Historic Management Zone Plan, The Arrowtown Shaping our Future Plan and has been declined by the council's own historic planner and the Arrowtown Planning and Advisory Group.

Funds donated will be used to pay for the No Leaf expert witnesses and lawyers at the QLDC appointed commissioners hearings. Any surplus will be given to the Lakes District Museum to assist with earthquake strengthening of the historic BNZ Bank building

Use of funds

The funds raised will be used to pay the expenses of the expert witnesses and lawyers at the QLDC appointed commisioner's hearings.

Good luck with the hearing - the proposal would ruin this part of beautiful Arrowtown

The olive leaf is a modern building that is proposed for the historic part of Arrowtown. It’s design does not hold to the town building plan, if it goes ahead it sets a dangerous precedent for the protection of our historical buildings and towns.
