However, Kathy Dever-Tod, the council's assets team manager, said safety and security are of the utmost importance for council.
"We're upgrading the lighting and the controls on the gates and it's not just a matter of plonking a house down there," she said. "Yes, Kim [Spooner] has raised her concerns and we're working through everything to improve the security at the camp which is paramount for us."
Ms Dever-Tod said having the holiday park manager down at the camp, rather than up on George St, was part of the focus to give campers a better experience.
Meanwhile, Mr Durrant acknowledged Kim was good value for the holiday park. "I hope she remains safe," he said.
Tararua District Council still has to make an application for the subdivision of the George St property, with the house being split on to a separate section leaving a building site to be sold as well. "The new house for down in the camp is being built now and is still a few months away," Ms Dever-Tod said.
