Ruapehu's mayor is hoping to reach out to investors to save the historic Chateau Tongariro.
A petition with over 15,000 signatures was presented to MPs in Wellington today, as the chateau's future hangs in the balance.
Weston Kirton says he wants the Government to break down the barriers preventing the building from getting fixed and provide a pathway for the future.
"We know that there are investors out there who are prepared to put forward their money towards this. We're not talking about taxpayers funding this project, we're talking about getting a platform for investors."
