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.
This month, our project team has actively progressed the preliminary design. This includes analysing flood event models and refining specific construction details, such as heights.
We have selected a contractor for the first stage of the enabling works and will share details once the contract has been signed. This stage will see the construction of material storage site. We can now confirm that we’re planning to begin work the week of 11 November.
Before work starts on site, Waiohiki Marae, Ngati Pārau, and Ngai Tahu Ahi will host a dawn karakia.
Find out more about the enabling works in the October newsletter.
