Two households have been evacuated in Porirua after a landslide struck the area shortly after 8 last night.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson told 1 NEWS one property received minor damage, but its occupants and those in the neighbouring property were evacuated as a precaution.
Council engineers are working on fixing the slip.
Meanwhile, Fire and Energency received 21 weather-related callouts across the Wellington region — the majority in Plimmerton, Hutt Valley and Tawa.
Most were due to surface flooding, but no houses have been compromised.
