A major landslide in Wellington does not appear to have been affected by stormy weather overnight.
Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean said there had been no obvious movement in the slip during yesterday's heavy rain.
"But we'll be going back this morning with our inspectors to take a closer look and do more ground movement checks," he said.
Yesterday a digger was put at the foot of the slip in Kingston to dig channels for water, while pumps and a temporary stormwater drain had been installed at the top of the slip to direct water away.
Eight houses have been evacuated and remain off-limits while the council carries out further investigation.
