In Napier, a developer wants to build 660 "affordable" houses in a flood-prone area on Riverbend Road. This 2022 photo shows the flooded site (in the foreground) which is deeper than adjacent properties.

Hawke’s Bay Regional Council has voted unanimously to exclude Riverbend Road from future development due to severe flood risk.

However Napier and Hastings councils could still approve the development.
