    Nelson City Council is offering to buy properties at risk of landslips since a large storm last year

    Nelson City Council is offering to buy properties at risk of landslips since a large storm last year


    It's in discussions with owners in the hillside suburb of Brook - affected by slips from public land.

    Initially, Council planned a 17 million dollar package to fix three landslips affecting private properties but the slip risk has worsened after more storms.

    Acting Nelson Mayor, Rohan O'Neill-Stevens, says no property is in immediate risk - but there's no other reasonable safe option.
