Bolstering the Hokitika River floodwalls skirting the town near Westland Milk Products should proceed "with haste" and be prioritised over sea protection, a West Coast Regional councillor says.
Westland ward councillor and deputy chairman Peter Haddock said addressing the shift in the main channel to the true right, with a real risk of it cutting in to the bank in the vicinity of Westland Milk Products (WMP), was a priority for the council.
The council wants it addressed "with haste," he said.
The threat of the river to the West Coast economy, and the low lying residential areas in Hokitika, could not be underestimated, he said.
"There's been discussions taking place between council and WMP and other affected parties to get some emergency repairs undertaken there," Haddock said.
This included more rock work on the bank at the Westland District Council stormwater outfall point, just behind the factory at the end of Town Belt East, almost immediately.
Haddock said council's infrastructure projects leader Scott Hoare had been instructed "to proceed with haste".
It came after a joint meeting of the Hokitika rating district just prior to the October elections.
Former Westland mayor Bruce Smith warned of the danger of litigation if the river bank issue was not taken more urgently by the regional council.
Hoare said things were "progressing" but he would not be drawn on how quickly.
"We're working through that project," he said.
The previous design and concept work to improve the stopbank from Kaniere down to the Hokitika River Bridge had been reviewed in terms of how it would work.
"We've got some changes downstream of the milk factory to the bridge."
Hoare said this was to better understand "the risks". He noted every West Coast river posed "a risk" but he acknowledged particular risk at Hokitika. "We have no immediate concerns but it is still a risk."
Haddock said council had already been allocated `shovel ready' money by the Government department Kanoa to address sea protection in Hokitika, but was asking for a review of that.
"Council is talking to them about whether the river works are more pressing due to the immediate threats to Westland dairy and the lower part of Hokitika.
"It may be that there is emergency works done quickly, but there is a lot of planning needed... It has been given the highest priority."
Haddock said at the same time, the council now had a fresh opportunity to apply for new infrastructure funding via Kanoa for further projects and it was "actively pursuing' those.
More rock work on the bank at the Westland District Council stormwater outfall point, just behind the factory at the end of Town Belt East, was due to be done almost immediately.
The economic implications for the whole region of the Hokitika River breaking through and inundating the dairy factory and the residential area should not be underrated, he said.
"We've really got to put a good business case there. The dairy company is so important... it would be an environmental disaster.
"It is quite vulnerable... the main thing is to secure the funding; because without the funding the ratepayers can't afford it."
