There's belief the Christ Church Cathedral will be rebuilt eventually, despite ongoing funding issues.

The Reinstatement Group has announced it's pausing work - until more funding is found.

The Finance Minister confirmed this month that no more cash will go to the project, leaving it short $85 million.

Project chair Mark Stewart says the Government needs to play a part in the rebuild, but acknowledged constraints.

"People are suffering out there, there is a cost of living crisis, there is fiscal restraint - and we need to be recognizant of that and understand the timing too."

He says they're committed to keeping funding conversations alive with the Government, the City Council and donors.
