The fate of Christchurch's historic earthquake-damaged Mona Vale homestead will not be decided until next year, upsetting residents and a business owner.
Mona Vale was badly damaged in the February 22, 2011, earthquake and no repair work has been done.
The homestead was a big attraction for tourists and was used for wedding and business functions.
Continental company director Joan Ward operated the homestead before the February 2011 earthquake. Continental still leases the lawns and Ms Ward is waiting for the repairs to get started.
She said the company had been asking the council for an update every month but the issue had been put aside.
