“We’ve lost one and a half metres of embankment on both sides of the stream, a bridge, some planting, five big cabbage trees and a lot of chickens”, he said.

Excerpt:
“This stream is running a metre higher than it normally does. Last night in the flood it was one and a half metres above this.
“We were out here when they evacuated everyone. Police came down in force, council came down … they took everyone down to the school, there was lots of support.”
The community garden has around 300 gardeners, and also provides 35 emergency housing places.
Police say 43 houses along Happy Valley Road were evacuated to Owhiro Bay School after the neighbouring stream burst its banks.
One resident told Newshub she woke to authorities banging on the door and she had just five minutes to leave her home.
