About the Pōrangahau project

The solutions being considered and developed include a stopbank and the raising of some properties. This work will ensure that Pōrangahau’s Category 2A properties can move to Category 2C, followed by a move to Category 1.

Latest update - September 2024

This month, our project team visited Pōrangahau to see sites along the proposed stopbank alignment. Thank you to those who took time out of their day to meet us, to those who helped us to contact landowners, and to the landowners who reached out to us. It is really appreciated.

We’re working with Ngāti Kere Hapū Trust Authority, Māori Committee, and Rongomaraeroa Marae to progress a Cultural Impact Assessment and Memorandum of Understanding to establish a partnership for the project.

In October, we aim to confirm the concept design approach so we can move into the planning stage.
