A Christchurch city councillor says there could be options to come to a deal regarding the rebuild of Christ Church Cathedral.  

Its future's in doubt as the Government refuses to step in to plug a $114 million funding gap for the restoration.  

Asked if the Church could be sold rather than rebuilt, Tim Scandrett told Heather du Plessis Allan there are possibilities, but none have been presented to council.  

He says the church owns property and could come to council with some options —which may be considered if they were in ratepayers' interests— but that hasn't happened.
