The project team is working through land agreements that will allow preparation of the area for stopbank construction and discussions are underway for managing tree removals required within the project area. The proposed realignment of the stream has been finalised.
While we’re still in the planning phases, contractors will soon begin enabling work like site preparations and material stockpiling. The project is carefully progressing through the consenting process to ensure the flood resilience work meets all requirements to enable the works to begin later this year.
The Waiohiki stopbank project is an initiative by Hawke's Bay Regional Council to construct a new 1080m stopbank that will provide enhanced flood resilience to the Waiohiki community.
The engineering solution for Waiohiki includes a new stopbank, and stream realignment.
Funding for the project comes from the integrated package agreed between all five Hawke's Bay councils and the Central Government.
