On-going works - Tauranga-Taupō River
Waikato Regional Council maintains a flood protection scheme on the Tauranga-Taupō River. This scheme is designed to protect the communities of Te Rangiita and Oruatua from flooding up to a 1 in 50-year event.
Continued monitoring and maintenance of flood scheme assets, floodway and the river channel is required to ensure the scheme operates to its design during flood events.
You can find out more about this year's programme of works for the river in the document below.
