While this rainfall event didn’t cause mud flows, the Regional Council advises that the area may remain potentially vulnerable to sediment run-off and mud flows until vegetation growth re-stabilises the soil.
Further analysis is underway to assess the level of risk. The Regional Council and Queenstown Lakes District Council will work together to ensure the community remain informed.
