Travelling to New Zealand on Australian PR while student visa is pending

I have Australian PR visa which has arrived this month only. While waiting for it, I got Phd. scholarship in New Zealand so I also applied student visa for New Zealand. As I am now an Australian permanent resident, I can fly to New Zealand and apply for resident visa on arrival.

My question is that should I withdraw my student visa application as I won't be needing a student visa anyway? Am I allowed to arrive in New Zealand with a student visa application pending and asking for resident visa due to my circumstances?

Any help would be appreciated.
