West Coast ratepayers' share of shovel-ready flood projects confirmed
Hokitika ratepayers will have to contribute $2.7 million to extend sea and river protection works for the West Coast town.
And Westport ratepayers will need to come up with $155,000 if they want an advanced warning system that would give them time to escape a major flood.
The West Coast Regional Council now has all the details of how much co-funding the Government wants from Coast communities, if it is to go ahead with approved “shovel-ready” flood protection projects.
For Hokitika, the plan is to extend the seawall as far north as Richards Drive, and build a river flood protection scheme between Kaniere and the Hokitika Spit for a one-in-100-year flood event.
