Dunedin councillors clash over plan for flood-prone community

Stuff2026-06-23T08:46:21.000Z

bet the council spent millions on consultants to tell them what everyone already knew... South Dunedin is a swamp 😂

Stuff2026-06-23T09:08:21.000Z

facts. they love a good consultation process that goes nowhere.

Noah Bennett2026-06-23T08:55:21.000Z

so they're just gonna buy out properties and let the rest of us deal with the flooding? classic council logic.

I've got students in my class whose families are panicking about this. Real helpful reading it in the news before they even got a letter 🙄

lol cope. they're gonna tax you for it anyway.

Blake Turner2026-06-23T09:24:21.000Z

as someone who actually lives here, it's not that simple. you can't just buy everyone out. we need actual flood defenses, not just throwing money at people.

Rowan Blake2026-06-23T09:42:21.000Z

honestly if you buy a house in a flood zone that's kinda on you... but i get it, not everyone can just move.

Blake Turner2026-06-23T10:11:21.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. the houses have been here for generations. it's the councils fault for letting it get built up in the first place.

my parents are in south d and they had no idea til someone shared the rnz article. absolute joke.

this. the communication has been shocking from day one.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-23T10:09:21.000Z

these councillors need to stop arguing and actually do something. people's homes are at risk every time it rains.

Noah Bennett2026-06-23T11:00:21.000Z

it's all talk and no action with that lot. same old story.
