For regular visitors to Queenstown.com, you will no doubt have noticed a few changes to this site. Those changes and the details are showcased inside this weeks weekly, and well as some of the reasoning behind them. Also, last weekend's frisbee golf tournaments are also featured after attracting large numbers, and people from around the world, and some stiff competition.

Last week's news headlines had a major roading theme to them, and even if you hadn't read them, most of us surely would have seen a few of these construction projects underway. There were budget blowouts, roadworks and delays galore, and the stand of a lone councillor. In other news, there was a reminder about early bird passes closing soon, and a few dedicated souls got soaked while preparing for next weekend's frisbee golf tournaments.

Last week marked the 50th edition of the Queenstown.com Weekly, and here's hoping that this continues far into the future. In this week's edition, we announce the winner of the Queenstown.com Monopoly Competition as voting draws to a close this week. Also, we highlight the recycling efforts of Queenstown as a whole, we detail the latest news from the council, and briefly talk about the local housing market and the cracks that are starting to appear.

"Over my dead body" is a quote made famous by ex-Councillor, and local police officer, Chris Blackford. It was in response to plans that aimed to relocate Queenstown's ailing skate park to the Recreation Ground. Putting it in perspective, this took place in late 2005, and it signalled Queenstown.com's involvement in the skate park issue from that point. Our Content Manager at the time was Kara-Leah, and she sat down and conducted the first two interviews on behalf on this website. They were with Chris Blackford, and the then chairman of the Wakatipu skate club, John Stapleton.
