The Northland Councils warn that $250 million is needed to sustainably fix ailing local roads after Cyclone Gabrielle. This money is essential to provide Northland with a safer, more resilient local Road network. There have been more than 1770 live slips across Northland's 5755km of local roads in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle and seven other major Northland weather events since July 2022. More than 1000 slips were spread along the most crucial 1110km of these local roads before Cyclone Gabrielle - averaging one Slip per kilometer of road. The cyclone and February 24 Mangawhai rain event added another 645 slips to these most crucial local roads.
