Mr Yule said the ministry also knew about the report, a statement backed by Education Minister Hekia Parata.
"I am aware the ministry has received a copy of the report, but I have not received any advice about it," she said.
Labour's Tukituki spokeswoman Anna Lorck said people deserved to know what the Government's plans were now for the educational site.
"This is a matter of public interest and people deserve to know what's going on, the Government cannot remain silent," she said.
"Just when was the Government going to tell the public?"
Te Mata Mushrooms owner Michael Whittaker said the original Jacobs report, which Tonkin and Taylor peer reviewed, said best practice in Australia for this type of situation was 1000m, as such he was unhappy with the recommended 600m buffer zone.
Either way, the kura kaupapa is still within the zone as Mr Whittaker said it was 300m within his boundary.
He said it was not about the kura, it was about any education facility.
"So if the kura kaupapa is not allowed to build there, then no school is allowed to build there. That is a fairly significant issue because that site has been earmarked for education purposes for a long time," he said.
