Flooded Streams: Reflections One Year On - Ecofest

It has been over 12 months since the major flooding events of late January 2023. For many, the impact lingers, but for others, the effect on our streams and wider lives is beginning to recede. But this is not something we should forget.

Come and hear Nick Vigar, Head of Planning for Auckland Council’s Heathy Waters team, reflect on what happened, why it happened, what has been done since, and how we can mitigate the impact of future flooding.

The talk will be preceded by “Exploring Ōpoutūkeha Cox’s Creek”, a guided walk along the (largely underground) route of Cox’s Creek, and a chance to visit a wetland created on the site of the old Cashmore’s timber mill. This is also part of EcoFest and is free, but numbers are limited.
