Show Notes
The Conservation Minister says any decision around the closed Tongariro Chateau won't be taken lightly.
Budget 2025 labelled the heritage-listed site in the shadow of Mount Ruapehu a 'fiscal risk'.
All options are on the table, including demolition.
Tama Potaka says it's an iconic building and very important to the area.
He says a decision on its future will be made in due course.
"It's definitely not years - we need to be a Government of action, we've taken action around a couple of those concessions in that beautiful part of the world."
