THE costs to re-locate the Te Kuiti Community House (TKCH) services from Jennings St to the first floor of the Waitomo District Library on Taupiri St have risen from $510,000-$585,000.

Waitomo District Council recently received draft construction plans from engineering firm AECOM Ltd and the budget estimate increased by $75,000.

The price increase will cover unexpected construction costs such as ceiling panel/ grid work replacement and installing a type-4 fire alarm system.

Construction tenders are now being sought.
