What do you think we should do?

Alternative option: Stop work on it all together?

Any other comments on Te Aroha Spa:

We live in a very different world to previous years, with the world in total turmoil and our own country virtually bankrupt, similar to Canada. If there was ever a time for austerity, it is now. The project costs virtually doubled in a couple of years and, given the construction industry at this time, materials supply difficulties, particularly from overseas, the geotechnical complexity of the site, the project costs can only rise significantly, with the Business Case getting weaker. Council has spent virtually millions, at today's costs, on numerous project proposals for the Domain over the last two or three decades, with little progress, and now is the time to pull back and concentrate on maintaining it at the current level.
