 While the exact future of the library was uncertain, a survey conducted by the MP for Northcote Jonathan Coleman in October 2006 showed there was widespread public support for its return to its former site.However, Abraham Holdings, owner of Rawene Chambers, located opposite the library's former site, lodged a last-minute appeal with the Environment Court, claiming, among other things, concern over the impact on the historic value of the reserve.Former councillor Jenny Kirk decried Abraham Holdings for their blatant commercial self-interest, and lodged a counter objection.
