Auckland's mayor says some flooded homeowners buyback could be less than they expect.
An Auckland flood recovery package worth more than $2 billion dollars has been agreed to in principle by Council and the Crown.
It includes $774 million for buying out homes where there's risk to life and no possible mitigation.
Wayne Brown says with different houses, there's bound to be variety in payouts.
"Some people who have chosen to be in places which are quite dangerous themselves were already taking some risks- some people weren't."
