No changes will be recommended at the site of a fatal harbour crash last year, Tauranga City Council has decided.
On December 8, a car plunged into Tauranga Harbour near the traffic lights on Chapel St after a three-vehicle crash, police said at the time.
About 20 people dived into
the water in a rescue attempt when it began sinking.
Police confirmed a 65-year-old local woman, Maree Geary, died at the scene.
Her partner, Shane Carnell, was also in the car but was rescued by civilians.
