Mahe Drysdale: Mayor of Tauranga hopeful that recovery efforts will resume today following spells of bad weather

Tauranga's Mayor says they're hopeful recovery work can resume today,  after Thursday's slip at Mount Maunganui. Six people remain unaccounted for and are presumed dead. Recovery work was paused yesterday after a crack was found on the maunga, making the site unsafe. Tauranga City Council has ordered an independent review into the slip - and what happened leading up to it. Mahe Drysdale says specialist equipment was flown in from Wellington last night - to help with recovery operations.  He says geotechnical engineers are up Mount Maunganui at the moment - to ensure it's safe for work to continue today.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
