St Clair homeowners remain out of their homes more than a month after being evacuated due to a slip in the area.
Six Dunedin homes have been evacuated since the city council issued dangerous building notices in December, after a large slip and cracking was discovered under one of the houses. Now, a council spokesperson said these notices remain, Otago Daily Times reports.
The spokesperson told the publication the council was not aware of any further developments.
Insurance Business previously reported that all six property owners lodged claims with the Earthquake Commission (EQC). At the time, EQC issued a statement clarifying its position on the insurance claims of the affected homeowners. EQC said appointed surveyors visited the properties prior to Christmas and again on January 10. It explained that monitoring will continue for at least two more weeks before the next steps are agreed as a further minor movement was observed across the site.
Otago Daily Times added that the latest update from EQC is due next week.
