We know there are some residents who have been badly impacted by Sunday’s flooding and who could benefit from some help. If you are in this situation, you can email us at enquiries@swdc.govt.nz or call 06 306 9611 with details so we can see how we can help.

Council staff and contractors have been out working to clean up and fix known infrastructure issues. You can help by reporting any flood damage to any council amenities or services, like footpaths, on the email above.

We are also gathering information about the flood itself. If you have photos of the flood and where they were taken, then a detailed map of the event can be obtained.

The Council is keen to work together with the community to minimise any long-term negative impacts of the flood and to ensure we’re better prepared for the future.
