The delayed reopening of Te Whare Taonga o Te Arawa Rotorua Museum will come at no extra cost, the council says. It was revealed this week that refurbishment of the museum would not be finished until 2025, three years behind schedule.
The 112-year-old building was closed in 2016 after being damaged in the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Kaikoura.
