Issue 3: Taupō Museum and Art Gallery building
Option 1: Do not construct a new museum and art gallery (preferred option | status quo)

Advantages | Does not significantly increase debt. The current museum can continue to operate to an acceptable level. |

Lack of access to resources such as archives, photographs, paintings and other collections. |
Costs | No capital cost for this option. |
Levels of service | This option would see no change in levels of service. |
