Thames-Coromandel cyclone recovery costs hit $200m mark

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The cost to repair and restore much of what was lost during Cyclone Gabrielle in Thames-Coromandel has cost residents, the government and council more than $200m, with more to come.

According to a Thames-Coromandel District Council cyclone recovery report authored by the council’s recovery team lead Stephen Town, there’s still a lot more work to do and a lot more money to be spent to repair the damage caused in late 2022 and early 2023.
