A judge has dealt out more than $150,000 in fines to parties found guilty of Building Act breaches linked to the failed Bella Vista development.
The sentencing comes more than a year since the District Court trial started and more than three years since 21 homes in the development were evacuated by the Tauranga City Council and the saga began.
In a decision released today, Judge Paul Mabey QC sentenced five parties involved in the development and found guilty of Building Act breaches after being prosecuted by the council.
