The Mount Maunganui landslide has been described as "preventable". 

A damning review into the disaster has revealed a litany of failures by authorities who “missed several opportunities” to evacuate campers to safety. 

Six people died after the slip crashed into the campground on January 22. 

It's now been revealed that over decades, "one consultant after another" warned Tauranga City Council of the risks at the holiday spot at the bottom of the mountain.
