Some positive news for Aucklanders left with flood-damaged homes. The council has agreed to fund mitigation for properties which could feasibly be protected from harm in future severe weather events. It's offering to pay up to 25% of a property's capital value for work like retaining walls, landscaping, and drainage improvements. Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown told Mike Hosking that the issue is vexed, but is a mixture of what he calls sensible decisions. He says it minimises costs but maximises the help council can provide without upsetting ratepayers too much. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
