Silverlight Studios Limited applied to Ministry for the Environment to build the facilities including a film school and theatre off The Wanaka Luggate Highway.

The company is owned by production designer Ra Vincent, director Mike Wallis and film accountant Jonathan Harding – all originally from Southland.

A spokeswoman said the development would be in a large undulation in the middle of a 322 hectare site with the balance being maintained as open paddocks.
