Hawke’s Bay Recovery
Building back better, safer and smarter.

Te Matau a Māui Hawke’s Bay faced unimaginable devastation and loss from Cyclone Gabrielle.

Recovering will involve all of us, together; and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build Te Matau a Māui Hawke’s Bay back better, safer and smarter.

A Hawke’s Bay where everyone, everywhere, shares in the prosperity we know we can achieve. One where every household and every whānau is able to thrive. One where our industries and businesses again flourish and where we are more resilient to climate change.

Together, Te Matau a Māui Hawke’s Bay Councils, Iwi leaders and Government have agreed a framework for co-ordinating our region’s recovery. A recovery that is locally led, regionally co-ordinated, government supported to build Hawke’s Bay back better, safer and smarter.
