The meeting is being co-ordinated thanks to the Friends of Te Horo Beach, and in particular, thanks to the efforts of Liz Koh to bring us all together for this opportunity.
Myself and staff from Greater Wellington Regional Council will join representatives and staff from Kāpiti Coast District Council, where we will update local residents on the issues, and it's a prime opportunity for local residents and councils to explore what options could be considered to address the increasing flooding risks.
I'd like to again thank organiser Liz Koh for initiating this meeting.
"There have been ongoing issues regarding flooding at Te Horo Beach and management of the Mangaone Stream for many years," she says.
"The issues are complex and require a combined approach from KCDC and GWRC.
"It is hoped that this meeting will lead to greater collaboration between the various stakeholders which will result in a path forward to resolve the issues."
The meeting will be held on Wednesday 2 February, 7pm at the Bus Stop Cafe. Vaccine passes will be required. Enquiries to Liz Koh: lizkohnz@gmail.com
