The owner of OGO Rotorua says there are still "heaps of hurdles to jump through", after reports the company has applied for consent to set up in Queenstown.
Andrew Akers has downplayed a report in the Otago Daily Times this week that said Jack's Point, about 15 minutes out of the town, "might soon offer Queenstown's newest tourism activity".
The newspaper reported plans had been submitted to the Queenstown Lakes District Council as part of the proposal's resources consent application for an OGO operation, comprising four tracks - two winding and two straight - on land near Jack's Point Golf Course.
Mr Akers confirmed the application had been made, but said it was too early to say whether anything would come from it.
"We have been looking at doing something in Queenstown for 10 years," he said.
