“Geotechnical risk assessments, trigger action response plans, and a quantitative risk assessment to life are still underway across the city,” Naude said.
There are still 15 buildings yellow placarded and four red placarded.
“Council continues to work closely with the Mauao Trust to consider what reopening Mauao could look like.”
The council said it would release a Tauranga Recovery Plan, outlining the city’s path forward, in the next week.
The plan “represented a commitment to a recovery process centred on community wellbeing, partnership with tangata whenua, and long‑term resilience”.
