Tauranga homeowners affected by landslides have been waiting 14 months for a solution. They now have one, with the council agreeing to buy out the worst affected homes.

Parking in Mount Maunganui will continue to be free but people overstaying in parks will face a fine. Also, the council has backed down on fees for using sports fields that were seen a “cash grab” by sports clubs.

Speaking to Susie Ferguson is Tauranga based local democracy reporter Alisha Evans.
