The community is being asked for its feedback on a number of proposed changes to the speed limits on some local roads.

The amended draft speed limit bylaw has resulted from a review of a number of local speed limits and Queenstown Lakes District Council transport manager Denis Mander says one of the suggested changes was spearheaded by residents.

"The suggested alteration of the current 70 km/h limit to 50 km/h at Kelvin Heights on the stretch of Peninsula Road from west of Willow Place to west of Loop Road was driven by a residents’ petition," Mr Mander said.

"Concerns were raised around safety with the current limit and we’ve taken that on board while conducting the review."

Other areas where speed limits changes are mooted include Cardrona, Hawea, Wanaka and the Wakatipu Basin.

Roads affected are:

Esplanade Reserve, Hawea

Camphill Road, Hawea Flat

Aubrey Road, Wanaka
