A woman who risked the lives of visitors staying in illegal shipping containers in Queenstown has been fined $12,000.

Lisa Karen Kalazich admitted in the Queenstown District Court on Monday that she had converted the containers into residential units without a building consent and had the relocatable containers on her land.

The two charges were laid under the Building Act and the Resource Management Act.
