The Otago Regional Council, Queenstown Lakes District Council and Transport Agency are exploring the business case for the ferry.
Regional council chairman Stephen Woodhead said the lake could become a natural highway for commuters.
The group is holding workshops in Queenstown and developing a draft business case.
The plan is expected to be finished in late April and will be followed by consultation.
