Future of severely affected land
Some areas badly hit by Cyclone Gabrielle have been designated under a group of categories set by government depending on the extent of damage and the potential for rebuilding. The categories relate to low, medium and high risk.
Government classification is separate to Council’s red-sticker assessments and has major implications on whether people can return to their properties or not. For more information on Future of Severely Affected Land FOSAL
