Flood hazard management

Our stunning Kāpiti Coast is shaped by its waterways, wetlands, and proximity to the Tararua Ranges and Tasman Sea, making it a unique and beautiful place to live. However, this landscape also brings challenges, particularly the risk of flooding in our low-lying areas.

Flooding is a natural part of our environment, but as extreme weather events become more frequent and intense due to climate change, understanding and managing flood risks is crucial.

This section provides insights into the different types of flooding that can affect our district, how flood risks are managed through collaborative efforts, and what steps are being taken to protect our communities and natural environment.
