The Haupapa St building that until recently housed the Rotorua RSA has been placed on the market for sale, less than a week after an emotional ensign ceremony outside the building.
Bayleys Rotorua has confirmed the building will go under the hammer at auction on September 3.
Bayleys salesman Mark Rendell said the commercial B zoning of the property would allow a number of uses, including conversion into office space, a restaurant, or tourist business.
But Mr Rendell believed the building, a stone's throw away from the Rotorua Lakes Council offices, could also serve in a more civic role - as the new home for the Rotorua courthouse.
Moving the courthouse from Tutanekai St would allow for easier access to the nearby police station, as well as opening up a major inner city intersection, he said.
