Land slips in Karori

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With a weekend of wet weather, 20 slips have been reported around Wellington.

Two large slips have occurred in Karori overnight which has led to power outages and road blockages. A police spokesperson shared that Wellington City Council had been notified and contractors were on site to clear the debris.

Here's what you need to know:
- Birdwood Street is blocked and unable to be used.
- Chaytor Street has been reduced to one lane with stop/go traffic arrangements in place while workers clear the site.
- Motorists should expect delays at this time and as an alternative route, use Old Karori Rd/Whitehead Rd and Curtis Street.

Motorists should drive cautiously as there is a chance there are further slips yet to be discovered.
