Arts, Culture and Heritage
Kā Toi, Ahurea me kā Taoka
Telling the stories of our people, protecting our heritage, celebrating who we are now and where we have come from, are essential for supporting our community wellbeing. Reflecting on the cultures of all who live here, including the unique perspective of mana whenua, helps to create better understanding, awareness and a shared identity and vision for our community and district.

Latest news
We’ve teamed up with Three Lakes Cultural Trust to develop a strategy for our district with the help of the local community.
A well-informed strategy helps set a shared vision and commitment to arts, culture and heritage. It provides guidance for what should be preserved, maintained, celebrated, and outlines a roadmap of what we need to do to achieve this.
Arts, culture, heritage, and creativity are essential for healthy, vibrant communities where people want to live, work, and raise their families.
Six district-wide hui were held late May and early June, to capture the collective vision of our community.
A draft strategy that will be shared in early spring for community feedback.
For more details and to be part of the conversation around arts, culture and heritage in the Queenstown Lakes District, check out the Three Lakes Cultural Trust website.
Arts and culture
Our district is a place of breathtaking creativity. Surrounded by the endless inspiration of the landscape around us, it is a place that nurtures the arts, culture and the spirit of invention. We are a place of diverse communities and people with a wide range of cultural perspectives which makes this a dynamic and exciting place to live, work and play.
The vision for the promotion of arts, culture and events across our district is provided in the following documents.
Heritage
Our heritage provides an anchor for our place in the world, connecting us to past and future generations, reflecting on the achievements of our people and the lessons we have learnt, and contributes to our sense of community identity and pride.
The vision for the protection, promotion and sustainable management of heritage across our district is provided in our Heritage Strategy and the related documents below.
