Enquiry
Just wanted to check to see what the potential re-opening date of the museum was. Councillors were previously told the below - can I please double check still accurate?
The option to restore and reopen the building as a museum would involve work to strengthen the building, and fit-out of all internal spaces. This could mean opening by early 2026.
Response
From DCE Te Arawa Partnership, Gina Rangi:
Timing will be confirmed once funding and construction contracts are confirmed. These matters will go back to elected members to be approved.
