This study was supported by three local environment groups working on community-led earthquake recovery: Avon-Ōtākaro Network, Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park and Greening the Red Zone.
The study provides an analysis of floodplain planning considerations for earthquake affected lands in the Avon/Ōtākaro river corridor. Sea level rise impacts are an important consideration (Figure 1).
