A West Auckland councillor sees hope for the community in a new flood recovery deal.
The Council will share the $2 billion cost of recovery and resilience works with central government.
It includes $774 million to purchase about 700 Category 3 residential properties and $820 million for resilience against future flooding.
Waitākere ward councillor Shane Henderson told Francesca Rudkin it includes engineering solutions like raising roads - so communities can continue living near streams.
He says that's important for a lot of communities - including those in West Auckland that were particularly slammed by rising floodwaters.
