Land slips in Karori
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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
