Because "government" will no doubt be involved the consultants would cost more than the build. I think someone on here does building work for DOC he'd be more clued up on it. The only way to replace them as they were is illegal builds or Tuhoe gets exempted from the building code.

Yeah would likely have to be to code, unless there is some sort of exemption in district plan etc for backcountry accomo. You are looking at million upon millions of dollars to replace and years of planning, red tape cutting, consultation and construction.

This is such a poorly though out idea, a staged replacment approach would have been so much easier, cheaper and would retain access to visitors and locals alike.

I'm probably more sympathetic to the idea that Maori have more say in the management of their cultural lands than some on here, but fark me have tut made a dogs breakfast of this.

If we are going to be apply these models of governance going forward they need a serious overhaul on how they are structured or this place is going to dissolve I to ruin
