Tasman Mayoral Relief Fund Open For Donations

Scoop29-06-2025
Following a government contribution of $100,000 to the Tasman Mayoral Relief Fund earlier today, the fund is now open to accept donations from the public.
Any person or organisation wishing to donate to the Nelson Tasman Mayoral Relief Fund can deposit funds into the Tasman District Council bank account 12-3193-0002048-00. When making a donation, please use the reference 'Mayoral Relief Fund'.
Tasman District Deputy Mayor Stu Bryant says the region has experienced significant and widespread damage.
'The impact of this event will be felt for months, particularly within Tasman's agricultural sector, which has been hit hard,' he says.
'We've heard from many people across Tasman wanting to help. One of the most effective ways to support the recovery is by donating to the Mayoral Relief Fund. It enables us to reach those who aren't able to access assistance through other channels.'
The Fund will be open to any resident, ratepayer, business owner, and not-for-profit organisation in Tasman regions that have suffered financial hardship as a result of the weather event that began on Friday 27 June 2025.
The fund will provide assistance on a one-off basis for extraordinary circumstances where real need can be shown.
Those who wish to apply for the Mayoral Relief Fund can email MayoralRelief@tasman.govt.nz
'This event has caused immense devastation across the region — but amid the hardship, the incredible way our communities have stepped up to offer help and support has been truly heartening,' says Stu.

Stopbanks urgently being repaired in Tasman district ahead of more wet weather

The region has been slammed with two major floods in the past two weeks and Earth Sciences New Zealand is forecasting more wet weather for later in July and into early August. The council's river manager David Arseneau told RNZ a key priority was fixing an area of stopbank at the top of the Wai-iti River. "The whole stopbank just got scoured out over about 150 metres or so, we are actively out there rebuilding firstly the ground that the stopbank used to be on, and then the stopbank - before the next weather event comes in," he said. Council workers had been out in boats surveying the river network and assessing the damage. Another area that had been hit was on the Motueka River around Peach Island, where the stopbanks overtopped. The Motueka River in flood. Photo: SUPPLIED "They've survived and stood up. So right now we are planning out what that repair job looks like and also looking forward to an upgrade and strengthening... it's the same with the Brooklyn stop banks as well," he said. In many areas of the Tasman District, rivers have massively widened and realigned through paddocks and farms, Arseneau said. "In the short term we are just not going to be able to solve those issues on any kind of scale before the next flood or the flood after that. "It's a multi-year recovery that we are looking at for property damage and the impacts on our rural communities." The rivers had completely changed, he said. "They are no longer the rivers they were three or four weeks ago. When big events like this come along, the rivers flex, adapt and change... then they'll hopefully be relatively stable for a few decades." The Wai-iti River in recent days.

Families remain isolated in parts of Motueka Valley following Nelson Tasman floods

Nearly 30 families remain isolated in the Motueka Valley as the Nelson Tasman region transitions into recovery , after two floods weeks apart caused widespread damage. The state of emergency, which was declared on July 10, expires on Thursday with the region moving into a transition period for the next month. About 28 families were cut off in parts of the Motueka Valley where damaged roads were impassable and could remain so for several months, Tasman District Council group recovery manager Richard Kirby said. The residents in Graham Valley Rd, Hinetai Rd and the Wangapeka West Bank Rd had been delivered supplies by helicopter and the focus over the coming days was to reassess their needs and look at whether emergency access could be put in place. "The couple of roads that we're talking about are fairly major and may not be repaired for two or three months so we need to also look and see what sort of access we can put in, alternative access, if we can. "Most of them are lifestyle blocks and small sections so we've been talking to them and finding out what they need and dropping it off and we will continue that during the recovery period."

The district received two months of rain in a 48-hour period from June 27 and the scale of damage was exacerbated in the second flood on July 11, which was smaller but resulted in greater damage caused by high winds and saturated ground. Kirby said there were still 40-odd road closures across the district, with contractors working across the roading network to reinstate one-way access wherever possible. "There will be a big job to come back and do the final repairs, that work is likely to take probably 12 to 18 months, maybe two years to actually fully recover from." The other area of focus was stabilising the river network, ahead of the long range forecast predicting more heavy rain in the months ahead, but Kirby said full repairs and work with landowners on private properties adjacent to rivers likely to take years. "The rivers team are just highlighting where the urgent areas are so if there is any more heavy rain, we minimise further erosion and further damage, but it's fair to say that we're not going to get the rivers in any state ready for major floods for at least two, three, four years." The ground in Motueka Valley is sodden.

About 3200 households were left without power in last Friday's storm. Three homes in Hinetai Rd and surrounds, two homes in Riwaka-Sandy Bay Rd and one in Teapot Valley Rd remained without power. Derks said the power poles at the Mārahau site in Riwaka-Sandy Bay Rd had been wiped out by a slip and needed to be rebuilt before the power could be reinstated. The same site had been wiped out by ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita in 2018. Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle's Greg Knapp had been collecting debris from the Motueka Sandspit after the Tasman District Council and civil defence got in touch to see if he had a vessel to assist with the clean up from the first flood. "Basically looking for anything that is not meant to be in the sea, tanalised posts, timber, apple bins, hail netting, fridges, I even found a kid's Ninja is all sorts out there, LPG bottles, you name it, it's all ended up out there." He's spent the last few weeks loading flood debris onto his barge, Astrolabe and almost had the spit cleaned up last week, only to have to start again after last Friday's flood. Knapp said the community had been amazing in pulling together to clean up after the floods. A number of churches in Motueka are co-ordinating a relief effort to provide affected families with essential items lost in the floods. Donations of clothes, shoes, household goods, kitchenware and furniture are being sought and can be dropped off at the Motueka Rec Centre on Saturday July 18 between 8.30am-9.30am with affected residents able to collect what they need between 12pm and 4pm.

'Like porridge slipping off hill': Massive repair bill for Tasman

The Tasman District Council says most of its annual budget has been spent in a fortnight after being ravaged by heavy rain and flooding. The clean-up has been continuing in the waterlogged district at the top of the South Island following a month of historic rainfall, culminating in last week's destructive storm that has caused widespread damage. The costs have already been swelling, with up to $500,000 absorbed daily on fixing the local roading network. The state of emergency is expected to be lifted tomorrow ahead of a one-month recovery transition period. The council's community infrastructure and group recovery manager Richard Kirby told RNZ's Morning Report programme today the district 's infrastructure was facing a repair bill of "between $20 to 25 million" and about 40 roads remain shut. "Up to 200 people, about 15 heavy machines and trucks, all over the district opening roads," he said. "Hopefully we'll have them open in the next couple of weeks." The most arduous obstacle for council contractors was the type of material they had to shift, particularly in the Motueka Valley. "It's just like porridge slipping off the hills. As soon as they push it more comes down," Kirby said. "That's an ongoing challenge. It's all on at the moment." There were further challenges underneath slips where roads had been washed out and bridge approaches, Kirby said. In Kaiteriteri, a geotechnical assessment was needed to ensure a slip could be stabilised and the damaged road beneath reinstated. Kirby said the busier roads presented the biggest challenges, compared to the quieter back-country roads. He later told RNZ that the annual budget would likely be all gone by next month. Earlier on Morning Report , he said the council would be requesting financial assistance from the New Zealand Transport Agency/Waka Kotahi. "We'll be making a bid to NZTA and seeing if we can get some extra subsidy. "Although we're opening roads, we still have to go back and do permanent repairs. That'll probably take 18 months or even two years to complete." The council said a critical stopbank in the Motueka Valley had "held up really" well following government-funded upgrades. Some erosion of stopbanks had occurred in Tapawera area on the Motueka and Motupiko rivers. "The river teams are up there just to see what urgent areas need repaired in the event we have another rainfall," Kirby said. "They're prioritising what work they need to do to get some resilience into those riverbanks." Produce prices tipped to spike A fruit and vegetable delivery company is warning of a spike to the cost of vegetables around the country following the destructive weather. Produce prices would sharply increase in the coming months due to the knock-on effects of widespread flooding, particularly in the Tasman district. Angus Simms, the co-founder of fruit and vegetable rescue company Wonky Box, told Morning Report the effects would not be felt for another two to three months. After a string of bad weather in recent weeks across the top of the South Island, growers have reported a delay in planting, he said. "The immediate effects we haven't necessarily seen. Growers have been able to get into fields, they've been able to harvest. They've been able to make that work. "Whereas actual planting delays will be happening here which is going to have an ongoing effect later on down the line." Simms said the shortage would be likely be seen with green vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli, and less so with root vegetables. Produce had begun to "steady out" at a retail level following Cyclone Gabrielle, which devastated parts of the North Island in February 2023. "What we're seeing in the green space already is greens are slowing and values are coming back for growers," Simms said. Fruit production is considered a jewel in the Tasman district's local economy and a major export industry. Harvesting of fruit products including apples and pears finished a few months ago, Simms said. "Anything that's already been picked and harvested has been stored," he said. "The products that have been stored tend to be safe." Some fruit growers were facing repairs of their infrastructure ahead of next season, he said.
