Great news for the whānau in Pōrangahau. About time they got some good news after all that muck around.
Ah yes, 'landmark decision.' Meanwhile the rest of Hawke's Bay still has the flood risk from the last storm. Classic council half-measures.
get over yourself mate, at least something got done
So does this mean insurance will go down or we just get a fancy new category name lol
lmao as if, insurance will still hike premiums cos of 'historical risk'
i swear this whole thing has been a mess. happy for them but what about the other 200 homes?

Bloody good on the council for actually doing something. Wonder how many meetings it took to decide 😂
oh please, you think this makes up for the last 3 years of incompetence?
Watch house prices skyrocket now that the 'flood risk' sticker is gone. Good for owners, crap for first home buyers.
facts. we're all just waiting for the next big rain event.
betcha they'll be $1.2m 'character homes' with no insulation
Can we just take a moment to remember they've been sitting on this report since March?
ffs just rebuild properly next time
what a load of shit. my mum's place still has a category 2 sticker and she's been waiting 18 months for an answer.
same here, it's so frustrating watching them drag their feet
Honestly anything that gives people some peace of mind is a win. Councils take forever but at least it's happening.
yeah nah you're right, but still sucks for the rest of us
