Wairoa's getting another funding boost of half-a-million-dollars for recovery from last week's major flooding.
More than 100 properties were badly damaged in a district still recovering from last year's Cyclone Gabrielle.
It brings Mayoral Relief Funding allocated so far to $600 thousand.
Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell says it'll go into pressing and immediate needs in the community.
He says it'll ensure ongoing support for clean-up costs such as drying houses and removing damaged materials from homes.
Wairoa Mayor Craig Little told Kerre Woodham that while $500k won’t go far, at the end of the day, the government didn’t create this mess.
He said that this was not a big rain event, and the regional council need to come out and apologise, otherwise they’re going nowhere.
