Poll: Have you looked up the flood risk info for your house?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato is facing the most severe residential flood damage threat in the country over the next three decades, according to Government-backed climate modelling.

But for Hamilton couple Delwyn Stanbridge and Lyndon Allen, the reality of that risk arrived almost three years ago - and they’re still dealing with the consequences.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
