FLOOD MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION
Northland Regional Council’s Rivers team has been awarded runner up in Floodplain Management Australia’s IAG Excellence Award for Flood Risk Management Project of the Year 2025.
This recognition highlights a collaborative, community-led flood protection initiative, guided by local hapū and the partnership of three Māori land blocks. The project is safeguarding more than 1800 residents, two schools, Kohanga Reo, playcentres, a petrol station and essential community facilities – all while respecting Te Mana o te Wai and integrating Mātauranga Māori with modern engineering solutions.
The project was shortlisted against three other large Australian projects.
