Otaki Floodplain Management Plan
Search in document libraryA major flood in the Otaki River could cause millions of dollars worth of damage to property and community assets in the Otaki area. The social and psychological costs, although difficult to quantify, add considerably to the devastating effect of such an event.
The Otaki Floodplain Management Plan is the result of six years of work by the Otaki community, Ngati Raukawa, the Wellington Regional Council and the Kapiti Coast District Council. Essentially the Plan provides a blueprint for management of the river and floodplain over the next 40 years.
