People evacuated from 11 houses due to a slip in Dunedin early this morning have been given the all clear to return to their homes.
Police said emergency services were called to the scene at Blanket Bay Rd, Sawyers Bay, about 4am.
A landslip knocked over trees and caused property damage in the same location early on Thursday.
Firefighters had to assist one resident caught up in the latest slip due to debris blocking her driveway.
If the affected residents did not have an alternative address to go to they were taken to the Port Chalmers fire station.
Dunedin City Council roading maintenance engineer Peter Standring said residents were evacuated as a precautionary measure because it was too dark to see the extent of the damage.
The residents were given the all clear to return to their homes this morning, after council staff and contractors assessed the damage and found the shoulder of the road had slipped down the hill, Mr Standring said.
The slip was linked to Thursday's landslip, but not as large, he said.
In Thursday's slip, Blanket Bay resident Polly Mustard said she was woken about 12.30am by a cracking sound and when she investigated, discovered a tree had landed on her silver Audi A3, damaging it and shunting it 1-2m, and blocking the road.
"I heard an almighty crack and heard trees come down and I knew it was on my car.''
Another tree had also fallen and left debris all over her driveway, preventing the Mercy Hospital nurse leaving her property.
The asphalt driveway had only been re-laid a month ago.
"I'm gutted. It's a hassle isn't it, just a hassle.''
