Tauranga waterskiers will have to wait until February to find out if they will be able to continue using the Hunters Creek water ski lanes.
The Navigation and safety bylaw review won't be released until then, says chairman of the review committee Malcolm Whitaker.

'We still haven't sorted out some of the issues,” says Malcolm. 'So it's not going to be ready for the council meeting on December 14, so it will have to be February.
'I guess we can't really release our decisions until we have totally finished our deliberations.”
Rumours that the ski lanes will continue in operation are just that says Malcolm, who is keeping tight lipped over what the decision on the ski lanes is likely to be.
'They will still be able to ski there until the decision is made,” says Malcolm. 'I'm not sure when that comes into effect, whether it is immediate, or if it takes time to go through the process.”
As well as the Tauranga Harbour issues, Malcolm says there are also issues with the Rotorua Lakes.
'We don't want to rush anything,” says Malcolm. 'We have to get it out there and make sure we do it as well as we can.”
