An Answer To The Drainage Problem?
Perhaps one of the most important points of the new deep sea harbour plan .and the diverting of the Whakatane River is the probable answer to the flood problem in the borough and back. behind on the Rangitaiki Plains east of the Rangitaiki River. The river diversion would do away with the gradual bend in the river on low country near the mouth. As a consequence drainage would be much swifter and easier. '
Should the harbour plan be adopted it will be of benefit not only to Whakatane itself but to all the country inland, providing a direct link to overseas ports.
