An update on repairing major slips in Northland
Responding to flooding and severe weather has been expensive. Northland’s local road network has suffered approximately $89m worth of damage from at least 10 different significant weather events since July 2022.
We've worked with other Northland Councils to produce an interactive map showing repair of slips in our Region.
It shows that we have successfully restored the majority of roads in Whangārei District and are focusing on 28 remaining sites, with an estimated cost of around $10 million total. These repairs are expected to take 2 - 3 years to complete.
