Fact finding ... Waimakariri District Council staff and councillors were joined by their
Environment Canterbury colleagues for atour of flood damage around the district recently.
Flood work under way
Flood repair works are
well under way, following
the recent rain event.
Environment
Canterbury staff have
completed repairs to a
return bank on the
Rakahuri /Ashley River at
Waikuku, which was
breached, while repair
work is expected to begin
next week at the south
bank, where the primary
Ashley River stopbank
meets the coast.
The lower section of the
existing stopbank will be
raised, along with the two
car park access points to
form acontinuous bank to
the coast.
Work is expected to take
about two to three weeks.
Access to the car park
and beach will be
maintained throughout the
project.
Staff do not anticipate
that any trees will need to
be removed for this
project, but some
trimming will be required
for machinery access.
Further upsteam there
was some heavy erosion at
groyne 25, at the south
bank end of Golf Links
Road and repairs are
under way.
Other groynes sustained
damage, mainly along Mt

Thomas Road and will also
need to be repaired.
The main areas of
damage on the
Waimakariri River
included some erosion to
the berm close to the
stopbank, downstream of
McIntosh’s Drain, which
has now been repaired.
Works are under way to
repair some erosion
upstream at Poyntzs Road
on the north bank and to
fix the damaged Beach
Road floodgates.
Peak flow in the
Waimakariri River was
about 2500 cumecs, which
is about half the design
capacity of the scheme and
stopbanks were not
breached.
At Eyre River, staff have
assessed heavy berm
erosion throughout the
flood protection scheme
from Island Road near
Oxford down to the
Waimakariri confluence,
but have found no
stopbank damage.
But there has been
considerable damage to
areas upstream of the
river, outside the rating
district, notably at Coopers
Creek.
