The council owned company is proceeding with major wharf extensions that the councillors have asked be halted.
But the council first wants a study on the port's future.
Mayor Len Brown described today's briefing as worthwhile, and the council's position may be come clear at its regular meeting on Thursday.

She hoped to challenge that ruling at the Court of Appeal.
