Greater Wellington manages the development and implementation of Floodplain Management Plans and Flood Protection Schemes for a number of the regions rivers and streams.

Following Budget 2024, Greater Wellington and MBIE’s Regional Economic Development and Investment Unit, Kānoa, have agreed to co-fund 16 flood resilience projects as part of a nationwide initiative. The programme spans 16 sites across Wairarapa and Ōtaki and are critical in future proofing community, infrastructure, cultural taonga and the economy, following a major flooding event.

In addition to this we regularly carry out maintenance activities on sections of many other rivers and streams under a watercourses agreement with local authorities. Learn more about the work that is happening in your region:
