As experts continue work to stablise the ground at the site of the Mira Mar landslip, Albany Mayor Dennis Wellington says it is unlikely the land will ever be used for housing again.

A landslip that destroyed two homes in Western Australia's south is continuing to cause problems, with a solution unlikely to be found this year.Mayor Dennis Wellington says it's the worst issue he's faced in local government

The ground beneath properties in the Albany suburb of Mira Mar began sliding down the hill more than a year ago, destroying two homes and threatening three others. "It's the worst one I've seen. It's just not going to go away, and it's not going to be an easy solution," Mr Wellington said.Still looking for 'final solution'"I don't think the consultants know what the final solution is, and that's the problem.

Albany winter is notoriously wet, presenting major issues for the planning and implementation of a solution.Mr Wellington said the timeline had blown out and a solution was not expected until late 2024.
