A retired judge has been appointed to lead an external review into the events leading up to the deadly Mount Maunganui landslide.
The review, previously signalled by Tauranga City Council, is separate to a government inquiry that has also been confirmed on Thursday.
Six people were killed when part of the mountain fell and ploughed into a campground last month.
The council’s review will be helmed by Paul Davison, KC.
Mayor Mahé Drysdale said his reputation meant Davison could have the scope to examine every relevant matter.
This will include accessing independent experts.
The review is expected to be done by the middle of the year.
