Awanui River Flood Management Plan
After extensive consultation, the Awanui River Flood Management Plan was formally adopted by the Council in April 2005.
As part of this Plan, the Council intends to restore the scheme to its "as built" (1976) state, restoring flood protection levels to a one in 100-year flood for the urban areas of Kaitaia and Awanui, and to a one in 20-year flood for the rural areas downstream of Kaitaia.
The case study for the Awanui River Flood Management Plan is available in the Natural Hazards section of the 2007 State of the Environment Report.
