The Mount Maunganui landslide’s aftermath continues to shake the community, with key facilities like the holiday park and hot pools still closed. A new risk assessment reveals reopening everything safely could cost up to $38 million — a staggering sum aimed at preventing future slips and rockfalls from the active mountain. With over 200 recorded landslides since 1943, the council faces tough choices: spend millions on stabilization, remove the campground entirely, or adopt a strict one-in-ten-thousand-year safety threshold. Local iwi stress caution above all, urging decisions that prioritize lives over convenience as a working group of experts and community reps weighs next steps.
