The cameras are positioned to the north and south of the river mouth to provide maximum coverage of the potential areas that the mouth opening could travel or move to. The cameras will take hourly pictures of the river mouth that will feed back to the Regional Council’s monitoring centre. The frequency of photos will be increased during weather events.

Hawke’s Bay Regional Council Cr Di Roadley says: “We are pleased to get these cameras up, and get them up earlier than planned. These cameras will now be part of our region-wide river level monitoring during weather events.”

Next steps are to set up a regular feed to the Wairoa District Council and make the camera views available to the public on our website. This will happen in the coming weeks.
