Port Hills residents have pleaded with the Christchurch City Council to manage rock fall rather than demolish their homes.

Close to 160 houses are still white zoned, and will find out their fate next Friday.

The group hope the council will use their power in the decision making process to turn them green.

At this morning's council meeting, group spokesman Simon Langer says the comparison of costs should also be considered, and suggests buying all the properties would be unnecessarily step.

"Costs will be in the vicinity of $100 million. Investigations suggest the rock fall risk could be mitigated for around 10 percent of that total."
