A buy out offer will be put to affected Bella Vista homeowners and legal proceedings have started against the developer, Tauranga City Council chief executive Garry Poole says.
It is a step forward in the ongoing saga in which 21 houses in the Tauranga development were deemed to be dangerous and were evacuated in March.
Since then it’s been revealed the houses, some which had code compliance certificates, were shoddy and unsafe.
Poole said on Tuesday morning that council were prosecuting the “developer” as there are “clear breaches of the building act”.
