Kia Ora!
Buller Recovery bring you issue #40 of Recovery Roundup…
Kawatiri Business Case Information session
We had a good turn out on Wednesday night for our free information session on the Kawatiri Business Case for government co-investment in future flood resilience.
Members of the audience had a good knowledge of the environment we’re in and asked some tough questions.
We hope our panel of experts were able to clear up any questions people had about the proposal, the process and the science that went into it.
We will release further FAQs in relation to this in the coming weeks.
For anyone who couldn’t come on the night you can view the video of the event which has also been loaded to our Important Information page.
Thank you to all who have filled out our ‘Tell us how you are going’ Wellbeing Survey. Everyone who shares their experience of what life in Buller is like for them – from those who feel they weren’t badly affected by the floods to those whose lives have changed significantly, helps us understand what is happening in the community. That information feeds into future decision-making and strengthens discussions with central government over ongoing support.
So, if you can spare us a bit of your time, the whole community benefits in the long run. Thank you 😊
In the meantime, kia kaha and have a Happy Friday.
