Wairoa, New Zealand, is exploring flood mitigation strategies after severe flooding in 2023, with a $70 million government allocation for the project. Two options are under consideration: Option 1C may affect 16 homes and some land but could protect more land from floods, while Option 1D impacts fewer homes and land but offers a different level of protection. The community is actively discussing these options, with a decision required by March 31, 2024.
