Come along to a presentation by Tom Mansell, Head of Sustainable Outcomes at Auckland Council, discussing blue-green networks and flood mitigation across Tāmaki Makaurau.

A blue-green network is a system of waterways (blue) and parks (green) that:
• Give stormwater space to flow
• Help reduce flooding where people live.

The Wairau Valley area is being investigated as a potential site for a new blue-green network, and another site on Auckland’s North Shore, Long Bay, has already been developed with this in mind.

This event is being coordinated with Restoring Takarunga Hauraki, our local environment group who are working hard to restore wetlands and waterways across the Devonport Peninsula.

This presentation is in support of DEPOT Artspace's exhibition 'Sponge City'. Visit depot.org.nz for more info and to explore our upcoming workshops and events!
