The temporary set was built by Wellington-based South Vineyard Ltd for the film Kingdom Come, a biblical epic about the life of Jesus.
However, a resource consent granted by the Waitaki District Council on August 12 last year stipulated the buildings, structures and materials had to be removed no later than 12 months from the date of issue.
The Waitaki District Council said on Tuesday no application to extend the consent beyond next Wednesday had been received from South Vineyard.
The company would breach its consent and would have to make a new application if it did not meet next week's deadline.
South Vineyard was continuing to liaise with the council on a regular basis in relation to the resource consent at Falstone.
Kingdom Come's director-producer Dean Wright said the project was still in "hiatus mode".
South Vineyard was working to complete financing for the project.
"We intend to apply for an extension. We are working on the overall schedule right now along with the funding plan which is required for the application," he said by email on Tuesday from London where he was meeting financiers.
Environment Canterbury has already granted an extension to its consent for a replica Sea of Galilee fishing village and harbour in Lake Benmore at Falstone.
