Adams Avenue and The Mall re-open to vehicles

Tauranga City Council has opened Adams Avenue and The Mall to vehicles following Geotech assessments on the stability of the landslides on Mauao.

Heavy rain forecast for the weekend resulted in the precautionary measure of closing the roads.

Physical inspection undertaken on site with geotechnical engineers, combined with a review of drone footage and remote cameras found there was no movement of the main slip site and the surrounding slopes/boulder field.

The area will remain closely watched by experts.
