Katy Jones Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Nelson City Council has heard options from flood walls, to detention dams and a tidal gate could be used on the Maitai River flood plain and in coastal areas, to respond to forecasts of climate-change related flooding in Nelson.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nelson City Council is working to restore the glasshouse at Broadgreen House, which has begun to crack and buckle.

Keen for the details? The Nelson Mail has you covered.
