ANZ (or it's subsidiaries) fly into much busier places than PP without any ATS, e.g. Taupo, so why would PP get a tower or FS?
It all comes down to cost.
Instead, CAA will do their usual thing and just pass a few more laws.
But, it could be the end of PP as a GA airport due to encroachment of housing into the airport perimeter area. It is no secret that the present owner only bought the airport to redevelop it as an industrial park. So far he has been thwarted due to the council insisting that it remain an airport, but this could just tip the balance.
Similar things are happening at Taieri and Bridge Pa and many other places around the world.
