Tasman, Nelson to prepare for more heavy rain following flooding
SHARE
Residents in the storm-battered Tasman and Nelson area are bracing themselves for more heavy rain on Thursday and Friday following the recent downpour that caused widespread flooding and damage over the weekend.

RNZ journalist Samantha Gee, accompanied by Minister for Emergency Management Mark Mitchell, surveyed the affected areas by helicopter. The township of Kohatu, near the Motueka River, and Quinney’s Bush were among the hardest hit areas, with reports of one fatality, stock losses, and road closures.

Civil Defence controller Alec Louverdis warned of the impending heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday, urging preparedness for further damage. The closure of State Highway 6 through Kohatu and the reopening of State Highway 63 in Marlborough and the Wakefield Street to St Arnaud route were noted.

Issues with cellular coverage in Wakefield, Street Arnaud, and Richmond were reported due to damaged fibre optic cables. Efforts were being made to restore connectivity, with Chorus working on solutions and Civil Defence exploring Starlink connections for those affected.

Deputy Mayor Stuart Bryant highlighted the extensive damage in the Motueka Valley, particularly around the Wangapeka confluence, where farms suffered significant losses.

Minister Mitchell emphasized the need for a rain radar in the region to provide early warning and accurate weather data. Plans to enhance collaboration between NIWA and MetService were also discussed to improve forecasting and response efforts.

Damage assessments are ongoing, and residents are encouraged to reach out to the Civil Defence community hub at the Motueka Rec Centre for assistance.

Stay tuned for further updates on the situation in Tasman and Nelson.
