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 - November 2024

This month, the project team has been working its way through site investigations to help with further refinement of the proposed concept design. You can read more about the types of investigations in our November newsletter. The reports from the investigations are likely to take several weeks to compile and finalise. There may be additional surveys needed, for example, further ecology to determine habitats and species in the project area.

In December, the team will continue to assess flood models and reports, progress our collaboration with Central Hawke’s Bay District Council on its stormwater project and any potentially impacted assets (roads, land, and wastewater plant). We plan to finish preparing the business case (project delivery plan) for the National Infrastructure Agency (formally Crown Infrastructure Partners) who are Central Government’s funding body.
