    A 22-million-dollar project to restore Canterbury's extreme weather resilience has been completed

    A 22-million-dollar project to restore Canterbury's extreme weather resilience has been completed


    Extreme rainfall caused widespread flooding in the region in May 2021, and left flood protection vegetation damaged.

    Environment Canterbury's project focused on more than 400 repair jobs and planting 60-thousand trees.

    River engineering lead, Shaun McCracken says they wanted to build back the resilience that existed, and add more - ahead of more extreme weather events.

    He says the jobs varied from rebuilding stopbanks, to vegetation reinstatement.
