Millions for Westport airport seawall that will 'inevitably fail'

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

A $2 million Government funded seawall to protect Westport Airport will "inevitably fail".

The Government announced on Thursday it would invest $2.074m to repair the West Coast airport's seawall after it was damaged by ex-Cyclone Fehi in 2018.

Climate Sigma managing director Belinda Storey said the airport would need to be moved inland eventually.

"Whatever height they build that sea wall, in time it will inevitably fail," she said.
