The future of the University of Canterbury Engineering Students Association (Ensoc) plan to return to Dunedin for a "Quake Escape" weekend is uncertain, with no clear outcome from a meeting in the city yesterday.
But the issue is obviously not resolved, as another meeting is planned for Tuesday.
Dunedin police released a brief statement after the meeting saying only that discussions would continue.
Others attending the meeting would say little more.
Ensoc was the group behind the Undie 500 events that resulted in disorder in the past.
It emerged on Thursday another visit was planned for August. Ensoc president Loren Burnett promised a tightly-organised weekend, with alcohol-free buses bringing the students here and taking them home.
While here, a series of events would keep the students away from North Dunedin where the problems have occurred in the past.
The Dunedin City Council raised concerns about the visit, and police warned there was still the possibility of mass disorder, and called for a council liquor ban for much of the inner city.
Dunedin-Clutha area commander Inspector Dave Campbell yesterday said the meeting had taken place "to continue discussions around the proposal to bring a number of Canterbury students to the city for the weekend of 19 and 20 August".
"We are currently continuing our discussions and will be meeting again in the near future," he said.
Council events team leader Marilyn Anderson who attended the meeting would not add to the police release.
Mr Burnett said he had been "sent back" to discuss aspects of the visit with his organisation, and a meeting would be held on Tuesday.
Mr Burnett said the situation was "neutral at the moment; not good, not bad".
