The Local Government Minister has little to say about Wellington City Council's fate.

The Government has signalled it's willing to intervene, after labelling the Council's Long Term Plan backtrack a 'shambles'.

Simeon Brown last week asked the Department of Internal Affairs for advice on potential intervention.

Brown says he's now reviewing it and is considering it.

"It's a serious issue, but as I've said, I've received the advice and I'm now considering it."
