What happened
The Tauranga City Council chief executive, Marty Grenfell, resigned following the release of a review into the fatal Mount Maunganui landslide. The review, conducted by Paul Davison, KC, concluded that council failures led to the preventable disaster. The landslide, which occurred in January, resulted in six deaths.
Why it matters
The findings of the review identified systemic failures within the Tauranga City Council spanning more than two decades. The council's operational standing and regulatory standing are threatened by the confirmed failures. The review, which cost over half a million dollars, prompted calls for accountability regarding the council's management of geological risk.
